Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2008 10:52 pm Post subject: Searching POIs |
|
|
I want a GPS reciever with base maps for the channel islands with the ability to load about 5000 custom POIs in 5 categories, with the largest category having about 3000 POIs.
I also need to search all of the POIs within a category for a specific one by typing in the name - actually these will be numbers like 0820410; I would expect it to filter as I type in the numbers, just like searching for an address. Having found that I want to go to it on the map.
Are there any that will do this? |

A TomTom will handle the POIs in this way, but I'm not too sure about the road coverage of the Maps.
My W&C Europe shows mixed coverage for the area, with some of the smaller Islands rather limited. I don't know if the Western Europe, or the UK and ROI, Maps fare any better. _________________ Richard

Hi Richard,
Is that anything running TomTom and is it from a certain version? I have 5 on a PDA and that doesn't seem to allow it, unless you have to have a GPS signal to do it.
Will the TomTom load from csv, or is there a way to create ov2 files?
Can the POIs reside on an SD card?
Anyone know if any other will do it e.g. Garmin |

The Channel Islands are now included on the UK&ROI map version 815 which is for the dedicated navigation devices like the TomTom One or Go range. Whilst I have heard this map release will work with the latest PDA software, the version 7 navigator for a PDA is only available pre-installed to specific phones.
I don't think the Channel Islands were included with the Navigator version 5 mapping - Mike |

Basic mapping of the Channel Islands are on all the version 8 maps of Europe but be aware that while the roads are accurate, things like one-way streets and pedestrian precincts are not identified, although I have submitted many of them through mapshare. _________________ TT Go Essential |
