How do I do this? (using Itineraries)

[bandk]

I am taking the advice offered here and have started to convert my favourites over to POI's. However I have some tricky ones where both the onboard mapping and TYRE want to route me differently to the route I want. The only way I have found to get around this is to set these routes up as an itinery file with way points so that the mapping will follow my route and not its own.

The question is, how can these itn files be converted to poi's? Or is it like I did before, set the route up as an itn, then have to drive it so its in memory then save the route as a favourite. Which can then be converted to a poi?

I'm sure somebody here has the answer but I've been banging my head on a wall for two days now!

Another way is to make a custom ov2 category, and add all the points you want to visit as items (as many as you want) in that category.

Then have that category installed on the map. Mind you, if you want to get to a specific poi point on the map using a particular route, you'd still want to add another point on the road you wish to travel by.

Thanks to both of you, especially Andy P. That has answered why I can't get it to stick, ie, it needs more than 1 waypoint to keep the thing on route!
