[b]
Hi I'm new to this site. I was wondering if anyone had a POI file for the "Coffee Nation" sites:
http://www.coffeenation.co.uk/find-us.htm
If not could any advise me how to use post codes to create a POI listing.
Many thanks[/url] |

You can use postcodes with Autoroute 2006 and a name for each site and it.s very easy to do. THe problems arise when the postcode isn't recognised but you can usually 'fine tune' the positions within Autoroute to increase accuracy. _________________ Tim |

Sorry, perhaps I should have been more specific. I have a TomTom510 and its the software bundle with device, only. I do not have AutoRoute!

Then it will be time-consuming for you. First of all, navigate to and select Manage POIs. Add POI category and call it Coffee Nation. Select a marker (you might be able to add a Coffee Nation .bmp file later). Add POI and select Coffee Nation as the target. Select addres and then Postcode. Input the postcode and housenumber if available then a phone number if required and finally a unique name. Do this until you've put in all 200+ sites and there you have it.
Alternatively, ask soeone to do it for you, someone who has aforementioned Autoroute. _________________ Tim |
