POIEdit 2007

Does anyone know whether the long running saga of non-compatability between PocketGPS POIs and POIEdit has been solved with the release of POIEdit 2007?

No, unfortunately not. And Pocket GPS refuses to do anything about it. At least they can remove the speedcam entries from the PoiEdit sync service. I dont know for sure, but the non-speedcam entries should be working ok. They leave little choice but removing them from the PoiEdit site and app. Too bad, after all the free publicity I've made for them...

Yeah this is a real shame since POIEdit is (was!) easily the best way of updating the POIs. C'MON POCKETGPSWORLD, PLEASE SORT IT OUT!!!

I am with you. I saw the Poiedit 2007 had been released. It was such a good and easy tool to use.

I see at the bottom of this posting it says "Jump to Poi-sync" Do it and to get a message says "Sorry this module isn't active".

Seriously if it isn't active don't put the b----y prompt there Evil or Very Mad

Agreed PoiEdit needs bringing back into the fold it is very usefull and timesaving program, it should have been done ages ago

Sorry folks, this is a no-go. Our POIs are dynamically generated from the database. This process is just not compatible with POIedit.

I dont think the word is cant, the clues are are in the © Copyright and Data Protection PocketGPSWorld.com on the POI page.

I see what you mean.

But all I want is some method of updating the POI's that I download.
I have a TomTom and have exactly 100 POI's, every time I try to update them I end downloading a POI or 2 which I hadn't downloaded before which takes it over 100 POI's.
So all I want is to save my selection of POI's which I can then update every week or so, this would still work under the terms of their copyright.

That's more of something we can think about. If you are happy to accept cookies then we could store your selection of POI categories and compilation options, and re-set those when you return to the page.

I think there are a lot of people out there who would appreciate some method of automatically updating their POIs. I don't care how easy you say it is to manually download the zip file, unzip it and copy to the GPS device IT IS A PAIN! If POIEdit isn't ever going to work again then how about you guys come up with something similar that does work (cookies or whatever - don't care how).

I'm happy with cookies, anything to make it easier.
