Recorded POI's

[Nickwolf]

Here is a question I posted in the Checkpoint section of the forum but since I got no reply I have cut and pasted it here:

When I record a new camera location and speed limit, how do I find the speed limit that I noted at the time?

All I can seem to find on the "recorded POI" section of checkpoint is the Lat/Long and time/date of recording.

I must admit I did not copy the file across to my PC - would that have given me more info?

Thanks
Nick.

If you convert the OV2 file to text using the TomTom utility DumpOV2 or my WinOV2, see the Downloads Section or the Programs area on my website http://rjdavies.users.btopenworld.com, then you will see the speeds.

Oldie, even when I use your program I am left with just the lat/long and 2 quote marks in the name section.

Probably a glitch in my rather old pocket pc. (Jornada 548).

Not to worry.

Thanks
Nick.

This is what I would have expected if you had successfully recorded a POI with a speed

;* Created by WinOV2 version 2.02 on 16-FEB-05
;* Longitude, Latitude, "Name"
-1.60103, 54.87621, "Recorded POI; speed camera; speed limit: 30"
;* 1 POI records written.

The lines starting with a semi-colon have been added by WinOV2.

Oldie, even when I open the ov2 file in poiEdit there is nothing in the name column (or whatever it calls it in that programme) so I think for some reason my pocket pc isn't recording that bit. This seems a bit odd since it asks me for the information.

As I say though I can generally remember the speed limit for most of the roads I regularly use it's just I'm using the record POI button a lot at the moment while I am checking that list for you.

Thanks
Nick.
