Sat Navs and Navman POI file

[cook1e]

And if you use POI edit software which can be downloaded free from t' interweb you can convert my POI file from Navman to any other Sat Nav format.

For the last 2 RBRR we used the road book/highlighted Atlas as the main navigation tool as Sat Navs don't follow the route exactly. However, we had a Sat Nav as back up as they are extremly useful when co-drivers are asleep especially in a two crew car like a Spit.

Also, as others have mentioned, useful for warnings on speed cameras and in the Welsh night section so you can see the layout of the road ahead!

So we're definitely taking one, but will still use the highlighted map/road book as first point of call.

This time next week we'll be heading for those Welsh hills, can't wait!

I've hosted Ellis's Sat Nav files for everyone here https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0BwsIWNBB_3c1MmNjZjQ5ZDktYmVkNS00ZDRmLWI4ZTQtODA5ZDQ5NmY1Mjhk&sort=name&layout=list&start=50&num=50 together with links to download TYRE and POIedit.

Jason,

When I clicked on the link it takes you to an empty folder...

[Jason]

Grrr, works when I'm signed in but not as an anonymous surfer (it should!) I've fiddled with the settings again and shared every file individually too https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0BwsIWNBB_3c1MmNjZjQ5ZDktYmVkNS00ZDRmLWI4ZTQtODA5ZDQ5NmY1Mjhk&hl=en_GB is set to be visible to anyone and require no sign in - at least that's what I've set it as!

[cook1e]

Nope still no files visible. Why not paste Ellis's file and the links into the post?

[Deleted User]

Nope.

Folder is still empty Jason.

Nae luck!

I'd lay off the Lambrini! ;)

Jim.

Google documents promises lots but is a pain in the rear to use! Nothing ever seems to behave as it should. I can see the folder and the contents when I try and I'm using two different machines here to test it.

If the folder appears empty there should be a link there to "click to show files" or something similar?

You may have to refresh the pages or just open the link in a new window but in any event, here are the files zipped up in one.

Google Docs link seems to be working OK now.

Thanks for the confirmation that I'm not going mad(er)
:P

A*rse!

I might have liked to have checked the specs of the TomTom I bought earlier this year. The TomTom Start2 does not allow you to use .itn files, there is no way to access them on the device. Ah well!
