Hi all a new user here, had a search through your databases and couldnt find exactly what i was looking for..

I was wondering if anyone could make me a Scrapyard and car part salvage point of intrest file.
Starting from around the taunton area out as wide as possible
http://www.touchtaunton.com/business/list/bid/1880851
Theres dans places like that.

A small paypal reward of around 5 pounds will be awarded for who ever makes me one Smile

Have you tried Google?

Try "scrapyard poi uk" and the first should be an Italian site.

http://poi.prezzibenzina.it/categorie/Car%20Breakers%20%2526%20Dismantlers/

Download from the above - save yourself a fiver.

But use Google next time or something similar........ it takes but a couple of minutes.

Regards

Tutton,

You are correct - the site is italian.................however, the download is not.

Trust me.........all you have to lose is a few clicks and a few minutes.

Regards

PS What is Ye?

:o cheers alot all
So i just put on my tomtom as a ov2 file

RQ · Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 10:20 pm Post subject:

There should be 2 files; one with an extension of .OV2 and another .BMP

These files should both be placed in the map folder e.g Western Europe, Western_Europe-Map, Great_Britain-Map etc - it just depends on which version of software you are running. Use Windows Explorer to find the name of the folder and put the 2 files in there.

Then you should be able to find your scrapyards - don't forget to set the "warn when near poi" in preferences.

Where do i get the .bmp from
i cant see one on the site only the .ov2 file

Either make your own - any .bmp picture resized to 22x22 pixels will work.
Or use one of the built in ones? You may have to create the category name on the TomTom itself first to be able to assign one.
