Just seen this post so have now installed the app.
 
Very good app easy to use.

Very good app easy to use.

Just a reminder, or advice for newer members, this thread tells you how you can submit new locations easily whilst on your travels this Summer ...

Thank you :D
 
Just downloaded the app but it runs constantly and will chew my battery life down so uninstalled it. Like the idea and be happy to use it if can you let me know if there is any way to stop it and only go when l want? I would consider the pro if it can be stopped from always on. Even clicking stop tracking and stop (forgotton other one) it was still tracking :sad:

Hi sorry to ask but will they download on all Sat Navs or just tom Tom Tom Garmin Pro Nav techie novice :rolleyes2:
 
Thanks ALSO Navigate

Another free app for Android (maybe others) navigation system.
Not as fully featured as TomTom etc BUT It is free.
You need to download the map of the country you are in.


Maybe good if you do not want to buy extra maps for your satnav for a 1 off visit somewhere.
Once you have downloaded a map it works without internet connection

The POI download includes files for use with Tom Tom, Garmin, Navigon and Navman.

That said, many sat nav devices use the Tom Tom OV2 format, or can import Google Earth KML format files which are also provided.

What make of sat nav do you have?
 
sat navs

Mio Moov M410/M610 Series
If this one is no good could always buy a Garmin or Tom Tom if they are better as OH just wants to stay in England for now and Scotland:(
 
The User Manual for your device says that CSV and KML format files can be imported to create custom POIs (see page 42).

I suggest you try with the KML format first. CSV format files come in different formats and the MIO manual doesn't specify the format required.
 
Thanks will check the manual and see what I can do fingers crossed might get son to do it!!!:lol-053:
 
Had no manual but found a dvd in box will look at that :mad1: looked on phone for HERE I AM! and found about 100 different gps things got my head battered!! think I will leave it till tomorrow. :cry: We are looking forward to doing a bit of wild camping this year. We used to go to southerness on the beach with a few friends with motorhomes and camper vans for weekends. :) well I just hope I can sort it if not son or D/I/Ls will
 
Sorry I have took so long to reply but still not looked at dvd will definitely do it tomorrow and will let you know what happens and once again thanks will do it if it is the last thing I do:eek: where's the kids when you need em!!! :pc:

Sorry for not replying earlier.
I have a TomTom sat nav with its attendant software.
I also use Google Earth (KML as you know) and Mapsme on my android. Samsung 10in Tablet

I have a easy program on my PC called TOMTOM POI editor.
It obviously does Ov2 files but you can also import from KML and export to KML (and others)

Your Multiformat POI set is excellent and I guess you have a similar "GPS interchange" facility
 
Where can I email POI of new locations I have found?

Which email address can I sent POI's?
