POI tool for dummy's ?

TheM@x · #1 08-10-2007, 10:54 AM

Is there anyone (Jochen?) that can make a BMW POI tool for dummy's?

Or make it a module in NavTweak.

On my TomTom it is so easy to add POI's (drag&drop) , I supose with some programming ist can be done to make a tool.

I see a User Interface, I see the files we know of the TomTom (POI's) and the icons we know of the TomTom (or other POI formats and icons). Select file and icon, give it a name, and the tool wil create the entries for the ISO files.

Or automaticly updates the files in the ISO.

Burn baby burn and done.

What do you think? (now I almost must be a computerprogrammer to add POI's to my DVD)

Already done. A friend is releasing it soon.

I suspect it won't work though for those of us with the 'carindb' file structure on our map disc? (eg Australia)..... I'm sorely missing my TomTom's ease of accessing POI on the crappy BMW hardware.

Don't make assumptions about something you've never seen

Sorry must have comes across bad...I wasn't meaning it in a derogatory way.....I was just saying that up until now those of us with the carindb file structure have been unfortunate in that it was much more difficult to edit the files on the disc hence I assumed the software would probably serve the easier and more popular European file structure....if this software allows us more customisation (which it sounds like it will) then a big cheers to the developers for making it possible for us! Good work guys, looking forward to it...

Mmm, looks like it......

Is there a beta version we can try?

I'm going to St. Tropez and I am a Carefour freak, so I like all the carefour Poi's on my NAV DVD ;-) (And of course all europe radarpoints)
