Creating own POI's - Some guidance needed.

Hi.

I've been trying to create my own POI's from my customer database. I now have a text file containing all of my current customers in the following format:

52.934,-1.496,"ABC Kitchens" etc...

I have converted this file into a .ov2 file using Makeov2 and copied this [and the .bmp file] into the TomTom Great_Britain Map directory. However the POI's do not display on the map. Also when trying to navigate to a POI, when selected from the "Navigate To..." list, an error message flashes at the top of the screen saying: "No Usable Locations Near Cursor".

I also notice that before each of the POI's [Customers] is a number which I presume give mileage from current location. Most of these figures are in excess of 4000M !

Can someone please shed some light on what is going on? Rolling Eyes

Many thanks in advance.

Graham

you need to put Longitude first and Latitude second. For whatever reason TomTom do it different from everybody else.
