I'll try the tomtom OV2 file, i already have the POI convertor so this step should be simple..!! (famous last words).

I have converted the ASC files with asc2idxurl_mk4.exe, but will try the fresh script suggested in your link..! My question refered to using asc2idxurl_mk4.exe to create the IDX & URL files from ASC format POI..! If for instance i download a POI database for.....lets say "Banks" how do i convert/extract the IDX & URL files....Can i Use asc2idxurl_mk4.exe if so what would the DOS command be..?

Thanks again..!
