Openzone POIs?

Un-zip the files (Two from memory?).

Place them in the Great_Britain Map directory...that should do it.

Then go to Change Preferences>ManagePOI>Enable POIs and tick the WiFi box.

Job Done.

Open the .zip .. there's a textfile in there that tells you to copy the files to your map dir on your PDA. Then simply enable them in your SatNav application.

Really is as easy as that Smile

Here is a link to the one I use that is for sale (price varies so have a dig around on this e-bay shop but word of caution - watch the postage costs

Great bit of kit though. Also avoid the ones where you don't have to cut up you sim cards to fit the addaptor, these will not fit into the phone as there is not too much spare space in there - check out the battery prices as well - way cheaper than UK- Mike

How about a true "open Zone" POI - I am prepared to create one - but I mean a true OPEN in that non restricted, in the true sense i.e no cost to the user - they do exist, am I the only person with an unrestricted WI-FI point ,- I think not (and at 8mb/S I don't notice extra traffic) the whole PC network at home is firewalled off, if enough people can cover the country with free access via their internet connection then BT and the others would have no option but to lower their stupidly high price. My local pub has one as do a few other beer calls in Blackpool / Newbury that I know of.

I need info from all users to compile it as I can't drive around "looking" the aim is to cover the country with true free access points.

Any thoughts as the open zone where you pay is not in my opinion "open"

Use a firewall equipped switch router with WI-FI on board, once configured you can use the internet, others can use the same connection via the WI-FI but cannot see your PC or do anything to it. When the PC is turned off the router and cable modem stay powered so the internet is avail to whom ever (Kids PC's upstairs, next door and the PDA for example).
As a second note wrt speed I haven't noticed much noticable speed increase once you start to go past 1MB/s the problem is the other end - they can't uplink the info fast enough. Mike

So keep the firewall enabled, and just turn off the WEP security??

Yes, the wep secutity is only to stop others from using your connection, I don't notice any speed hit when the kids etc are using the net - Mike
