"In addition to our easy-to-use POI Listing Service, you can create, edit, download and share your GPS POI files in our GPS POI Zone. Our registered users can also manage all Private POIs in their private and protected GPS POI zone.

Our online GPS POI Editor can edit Garmin GPX, Google Earth KMZ and KML, TomTom OV2, Garmin CSV, Garmin GPI, Navman CSV, Microsoft's Streets & Trips EST files and Nokia landmarks. Support for some popular Smartphones is added to our GPS POI Editor."

Gah! why are these websites so damm hard to navigate around.

I still don't know what it does, and why I would need it...

And what does POI mean?

Point of Interest e.g. Sydney Opera House or anything you might wish to add like a camping spot beside the road and you can them import to your GPS.

I found this one a few  months ago.......fairly basic http://www.poieditor.com/

I have a little GPS
I've had it all my life
It's better than the normal ones
My GPS is my wife.

It gives me full instructions
Especially how to drive
"It's sixty k's an hour", it says
"You're doing sixty five".

It tells me when to stop and start
And when to use the brake
And tells me that it's never ever
Safe to overtake

It tells me when a light is red
And when it goes to green,
It seems to know instinctively
Just when to intervene.

It lists the vehicles just in front
And all those to the rear,
And taking this into account
It specifies my gear.

I'm sure no other driver
Has so helpful a device,
For when we leave and lock the car
It still gives its advice.

It fills me up with counselling
Each journey's pretty fraught,
So why don't I exchange it
And get a quieter sort?

Ah well, you see, it cleans the house,
Makes sure I'm properly fed,
It washes all my shirts and things
And - lets me have a shed.

Despite all these advantages
And my tendency to scoff,
I do wish that once in a while
I could turn the darn thing off.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Finally got around to mounting and hard-wiring the TomTom Rider Pro purchased from youngSTer, thanks Tony.  Works and functions okay, it suppose that's what's supposed to do.

Next step was to find something to plan trips in Google Maps and download them onto the TomTom, and I found this: http://www.tyretotravel.com/

It seems to do the trick, but I won't know until I can out for a test-run.

I recently found POI files on Queensland Transport's web page. http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/Travel-and-transport/Maps-and-guides/Points-of-interest-files.aspx

But I couldn't load their file onto the Tom Tom live in ov2 format.  Went looking and found this useful POI editor.

Opens kml file and a whole host of others.
Cheers,
Gary
