I wonder if it might be possible for someone to help me with using the OV2 tool. I want to create some POI's using the tool but cant get to work with it!! Any help would be great. (jeffrey.clark3@btinternet.com) |

Could you explain which OV2 tool you are using and what data you are trying to use on it. Are you using a text file with the following data; longitude, latitude, "text"? _________________ Richard
