This is an excellent site for POI's. You have to register but it is free and they keep all the POI's up to date on a daily basis. You have to pay for Safety Camera POI's but all others are free once registered. The POI's work with Navman. You download a CSV and BMP file and load the CSV file exactly the same way as the ASF files from elsewhere.

Just unzip the files (you should see a .csv file). Start up the SmartST desktop software. Go to POI editor. Open up the .csv file and then click save to device icon. Click on the settings (active, visual and audio settings) as required and select the bmp icon. Then save it!

I am also having problems loading the POI files,with the SmartSt software I can only upload it to the device and not to my SD-card. How do I solve this problem ?
I can see I directory structure on my SD card, but all directories are empty.

Please help

Cheers

Ron

Save the Postcodes and addresses in an Excel file (or .asc, .csv, etc.) and then import them into Autoroute. Save the file as an .axe file and then convert the .axe file to a Tomtom .asc file using Oldie's POIConverter. (A Google search will help, or click on Oldie's www button.) This .asc file will then import directly into the Navman POIEditor.
