Well I have just bought the Aldi Medion(Mitac163?) for £250 Smile

Can I get poi software for it as I had with TT3? I would like to put the speed camera database on my ppc.

Yes you can, I got this one:

I used the speed camera o2v files from this site (converted to asc with POI edit) then just uploaded them to the PDA. Works great Smile

Hi, I'm new to this, too Rolling Eyes

; so to check, this is what I have to do:

*Buy/download the Warner POI sw and activate it
*download the Speed Camera data from this forum/site
*convert the file format of the latter data to .asc
*transfer this data to the PDA
*Bob's my uncle...

OK, where do I find the POI edit/WinOV2 Convert software?
In exactly which folder do I transfer the data to, on my PDA?

1. http://www.navigating.de/Medion4_en/POI/Index.htm

Follow all the instructions to install and register the POI-Warner utility.

2. Yes - http://www.pocketgpspoi.com/downloads/pocketgps_uk_sc.zip

3. http://dnote.demon.nl/public/PoiEdit_v32.exe

4. Run the PoiEdit_v32.exe

5. Un-zip the pocketgps_uk_sc.zip to the the PoiEdit folder

6. Start PoiEdit, click on the Tools - Batch Convert, you should see the files you un-zipped from pocketgps_uk_sc.zip, just click Convert, within a second the files will be converted, then just close PoiEdit, browse to its folder and you will find the converted files with the .asc ending. Copy the files:

pocketgps_uk_gatso.asc
pocketgps_uk_mobile.asc
pocketgps_uk_redlight.asc
pocketgps_uk_specs.asc

6. Put your Pocket PC in its cradle and start ActiveSync, (if not already started), then browse to the folder

\Program Files\POIWarner MN4-Edition\pois

then Paste the files you copied above into this folder.

7. You will also need to copy the 4 image files from the PoiEdit folder:

pocketgps_uk_gatso.bmp
pocketgps_uk_mobile.bmp
pocketgps_uk_redlight.bmp
pocketgps_uk_specs.bmp

then Paste them to the same folder as above.

8. Then click Start on your Pocket PC - Programs - then start POI-Warner
and configer each of the tabs, this takes a bit of learning so is much to long to post here, but its not that hard.

Hope this helps.

Very helpful thanks.

Can I use the POI-Warner from this site (says for TT) with the Medion software or is it only for TT?
