so in that case, make the bmp files smaller may allow them to be viewed.

and thanks for the info

I`ve tried turning off the POI view on screen and it made no difference, still getting double helpings, has anyone else had any luck.
Regards
Jim.

I used POI edit to cut down the number of POI's. I live in Surrey, so I removed everything north of colchester (52 deg) and Everything west of Portsmouth (-1.75 deg).

I now have:
Gatso - 1106 cams
Mobile - 392 cams
RedLight - 131 cams
Specs - 0

I still get an ocasional stutter, but it's barely noticable.

Has anyone worked out the upper limit on POI's? Do the built in POI's make a difference? I tried turning off the Petrol Stations, which are on by default, but didn't notice a difference.

try this trick
use dumpov2.exe from TT website to convert original ov2 file to .ASC file then use makeov2.exe to convert it to .ov2 .
works better (90%).

Has anyone got a POI file with just th Gatso cameras in England? Or is there a way of displaying the cameras in the ov2 file on a map and removing the non required POI and saving the file as an ov2?

Hi
I also did the dump and make, i did the same to the Specs ov2
and the Mobile ov2 as well and i don't get any stuttering at all now.
Thank YOU eddie for that i am very pleased now.
I wonder why do you think it works?, the file size is a little larger or
could it be that it is the proper tomtom format?.
Thanks again.

Yes seems to work for me now, only the occasional stutter. Would the pocketGPS team consider releasing future updates to the database in this format please?

i`ve also done the solution provided by eddie2k2

and has made a massive difference

tested it on a good hours drive

with only a very slight stutter every so often , if someone used it without knowing the original problems they`d me non the wiser

nice work and well done to all involved[/b]
