Hi again, can anyone advise of a program/utility that will allow me to change poi ov2 files to work in copilot 5?

What format does CoPilot require?

I think it is XLS, at least I hope it is as I am in the middle of generating some POI's for my new copy of CoPilot 5!

I found POIconverter 3.09 (the link to the home page is in the downloads section) works well; it converts just about any format of POI files to any other format. It works on my copy of XP SR2.

For importing them, I'm following the instructions for importing the "safety" camera POI's into CoPilot.

Good luck. Cheers,
Mike

I've just dug out the website for POI converter, its writted by Richard Davies:

Thanks I will have a look at that program. it is XLS format i believe as the safety camera's are imported by xls.

Good point! Embarassed

I meant to say that I was also looking at converting/downloading other POI's written for TomTom in ov2.
Cheers,

Mike

Thanks Graham.
I'll do as you suggest.
Doesn't the direct conversion from ov2 to xls in POIconverter work for CoPilot?
Cheers,
Mike.

CoPilot will quite happily import .csv files, do the import from excel but select the .csv instead of the .xls.
