I wonder if you can clarify something please.
Once the ov2 files have been downloaded, how does the text (inf) file pick up the ov2 data, and where is the ov2 file stored?
Sorry if I'm being thick!


Sorry for delay replying, been away for the weekend.

You create (or download and save) the POI file exactly the same as normal - i.e. the .ov2 files go into the folder for the map you want to use it with ("Western_Europe" or whatever your map's folder is called).

The only difference is that you write this .inf file, and the important things to note are:
1. the inf file is NAMED to match your POI file
(so for example, if you made a POI file just for Terminal 5 and called it "T5.ov2", the .inf file would then need be called "T5.inf")

2. The contents of the .inf file has the 4-digit number of the built-in POI category you want to connect it to (eg for airports it would be "7383")

Don't forget the 3 blank lines and the " * " before the number and save it in the same map folder as you put the .ov2 file and it should all work. Smile
