Grouping POIs

EGLITTLE · Occasional Visitor Joined: Apr 29, 2012 Posts: 9

I have just downloaded the petrol station POIs into my Tomtom running through a MIO Digiwalker and each petrol company shows as an individual POI. Can I group them together so I can just put in Fuel as a POI for convenience sake to call them all up together

Select "Combine subcategories into category file" at section 4 under the POI list before downloading the petrol stations again.

Thanks Anita, I think there may be something wrong with the fuel POI file it keeps resetting the connection when I try it is it too big? Others seem to work OK.

For someone to help you with your problem, it would be good if you explain a bit more fully what "it keeps resetting the connection " means. What connection? What are the "resetting" symptoms? What, if any, error messages are you getting? What S/W is producing the error messages?

The error I get is "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." I only get it when trying to combine the fuel category, the POIs download fine without combining and other groups like low bridges combine without any problem. I was wondering if note 3 is the cause. Thanks

Hi Oldboy, all I'm trying to do is download the fuel POI combined so it will show as 1 POI category. I've downloaded it without combining but of course they are showing as single POIs and yes I@ve tried the show link button but it never gets far enough to show anything. I've also tried on IE and Firefox and get the same problem

Seems possible. I was just able to D/L the CSV file a couple of times on combined, but the OV2 option would not download. It gave ne a page not found error. But separate worked OK. As there are about 70 files in the POI D/L it seems like note 3 rules for combined fuel on OV2 D/L. (Unless someone knows differently).

Thanks to all, I now have a single fuel category. Reduced the number to less than 20 and downloaded without a hitch.

Glad to hear it!

The limit of 20 combined subcategories for OV2 files is a real pain, but I'm sure it's been investigated very thoroughly, and the only way around it is the POIEdit option mentioned on the download page. Sad

Thanks Anita, this was the 1st time I used this site and did read the instructions. I did mention size of file and note 3 about 8 posts ago. Perhaps it would be better to change note 3 to read SUB categories as I thought each POI set listed was a category.
