Hi all,
I'm a newby i3 owner and relatively inexperienced PC user.
One of the problems I seem to have with the i3 is that I can't enter destinations that are not listed, or do not have a postcode.
Is there a way I can enter lat/long info for destinations or scroll the map to choose a destination?

Failing that are there any POI databases for airfields? There is one for Tom Tom but this does not seem to be in a .csv or .gpx format. Is there any conversion utility?

Any help appreciated
Steve T

There are a couple of programs out there Google for "tomtom garmin convert" should find one. Or if you are not on Win I have a perl script that I knocked up that will convert ov2 to POI csv format.
