Whats Wrong with POI Edit?

Hi All.

I just bought myself a TomTom GO 720 and was looking to get some POI's so I thought of this place first. I've been using a bit of POI software called POI Edit but it does not seem to be working. When I go to the POI Edit website and do a site check it says the connection to this site is down see here http://www.poiedit.com/sites.htm. Does anyone know if this is a temporary or permenant thing?

Cheers all

There is nothing wrong with POI Edit, it is simply that this web site no longer supports is use for downloads, if you go to This Page you will be able to download lots of different POI categories, the installation instructions are on the page as well - Mike

We compile our files 'on the fly' from a master database. POIedit does not support this.

So are there any plans to automate the downloads to keep systems up to date?

And many of the old POI files aren't available now - 'Airfields' for example. 'AA Walks in Surrey'. 'Pub Grub'. 'High Quality Pubs' etc etc

Shame.........

We don't plan to automate it simply because we support a vast number of different manufacturers, few of which have any facility for automation. TomTom is but one of many popular devices after all.

I don't have any specific knowledge of the POIs you mention but all those that we used to have were incorporated into the new system so I would be surprised if they were not there? I'll ask Richard, our POI Database Administrator, if he has any comment to add on those specific POIs.
