It will only list the first 100 or so but will actually allow you to search for all others as well,

I have a slightly different problem. I was curious to look inside the file to determine the range of postcodes covered without having to load it into TTG (I haven't got enough space on my 128MB memory card anyway but have a larger one on order).
I tried to convert the .ov2 file into a text file using both WinOV2 and POIConverter - but neither will do it because it contains too many POIs. WinOV2 seeems to have a limit of 10,000 and POIConverter 15,000.
Anyone got any ideas? |

| You have to use the older version (1.2 I think) for the larger files. You can get it from the same site as you download the latest version at I think. I got it from a link on this forum so it might turn up with judicious use of search terms if you're lucky |
