Have a look at this site:
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/oldboy/TomTomPOI/index.html
Within each POI zip is both a TT file (ov2) and Navman file (csv).
Enjoy! |

Check out new N20/N40i that replace 530 – they have the new GUI.
Can you point us to where it actually says the N-series replaces the 530? |

Oldboy supplies his POIs in both formats.
Yes, within each POI zip there are files .ov2 and .csv. The .ov2 file is for the Tom Toms and .csv is for Navman (csv means comma-seperated variable).

it seems to me those apps have been written to only fit on a portrait screen and the way to go would be to force the 530 into portrait mode. How you do that is beyond me.
Thanks for making me think l ... |

Thanks for all that. I don't mind having to reload the sound and assign it via CONTROL each time I do a cold reset as it's worth it!  However, it would be even better not to have to!

Being at just under 2.5ft, wouldn't be that large and you could use fine wire, just enough to resist bending in the wind at motorway speeds.

Also, it looks like that when you're on roads where there ... |
