 Posted: Sun Mar 11, 2007 11:17 am Post subject: Navman 530 POI Help Needed |
 |
|
Hi I am a beginner and a new member who have now got a Navman 530 after changing from a 510. My question that I hope someone can help me with is as follows. I need to place on my 530 files of all our network plant to allow me to find it by using the 530. My company have supplied this data in 0v2 format as all the supervisors use Tom Tom 300 & TT1.
I have tried converting to both CVS & ASC but it does not appear to work?
Also your Speed camera download does not work either?
The files I have that do work were supplied by a Navman engineer in Horley and appear to have 3 files per camera being a bmp, config & the 3rd one a map? Any advise would be most welcome.
Thanks
John |

Connect your device to your computer using the SmartST desktop. Click Maps and then Points of Interest. When the POI ediitor is open, click to open the text file where you POIs are stored.
Now, in the File name box type *.* the OV2 file will now open as a CSV file and you can proceed to load the pois as normal  .
Use the same proceedure to load the PGPSW Speed camera POIs...

I don't know if it will help but if you look here HERE it seems to be the source for converting any type of POI file from one file type to another.
I've not used it, but it seems to be the answer : After my first Gaff, I'm not so sure any more

The link to POIConverter is the correct one. Convert to Tomtom ASCII .asc and import them using POIEditor.
The speed camera files for Navman work correctly on my iCN530. Do you unzip them first?
