Not sure what to do with it, do I just burn this to a disc using imgburn and than load into my nav dvd drive?

Also had a good look around PocketGPSWorld and yes some great POI. I'm a bit confused how to add these to my sat nav, i did find this post for speedcameras - http://www.x3world.com/navigation-sy...tml#post425336

Is this the best solution that you used?
Do i have to do this for every POI I want to add - imgburn, copy/paste files etc etc?

Think I might just got for pimpmynav as I am not very tech on all this

Cheers fopr your help

To be honest Dan, I don't know much about stuff offered on download torrents - I am always a bit cautious about any 'warez' offerings as they have the potential to really screw things up if they contain altered or malicious code. However if you want to go down this route you need to ensure that the iso file is for the HIGH DVD not Business or Professional.

Regarding the POI's, doing it manually is a PITA and you have to make sure all stages are completed correctly otherwise the POIs won't show in the search or on the screen (or the POIs will be corrupted if not converted across properly). I think the 'Pimp your Nav' application is the easiest and best option as it allows you to create many categories and get a visual of where they will go on the menu etc. I have to say though that I don't have it (yet), but each time I fiddle with the DVD adding stuff it takes ages to remember what to do!

I will drop you a PM, so watch your in-box.

Cheers,

Mark.
