I have a Garmin Nuvi (My own) My employer has just started to supply Nuvis as we have several thousand sites in NI. A workmate got his today with our sites pre installed as POIs. So I copied the poi.gpi file across to my personal Nuvi with no probs and I now have our sites installed.

Several of my workmates have tomtom ones and they would like to have this database also. I've downloaded PoiEdit but as far as I can tell it will only convert from .csv to .ov2. Therefore I need to convert the .gpi file back to csv. Any ideas how to do this?

Perhaps there is an easier way to go from a Garmin Nuvi poi.gpi file to a format that can be installed on tomtom, if so any advice would be appreciated.

Try This Site for the Babel application, a very good (if not the best) translation application between different formats) - Mike

Thanks mike and MaFt. Downloaded and converted from .cgi direct to ov2. Shall hopefully get a chance to install in a tomtom tomorrow.
