Hi, I will try to explain. First open Global Map Download tool. Go to POI on top of the page,click on OV2. A window will appear asking to open an OV2 file. Select your OV2 and click open. You will see a little window popping up telling you the number of POI's found in the file. Hit OK and than in Global Map Download Tool click on Save POI (start with_) and give your file a name. OK that's it. Now locate your saved file in gmdl0.5.XX/GMD/bin/Debug. Place the file in your PSP under COMMON and it should work fine.

hey i got a new question now, is there any specific way for me to combine both my speed camera poi and my red light poi, and also, i notice the icon for the cameras disappear when moving the map, i havent tested it with gps yet, will it stay intact when gps active?

You'll have to put all the POIs in a single file, if you want to load all of them. The icons indeed disappear when you move the cursor, but the reappear when you let go :). In GPS mode, they will stay there.

This is what I have been looking for, to view the POIs together with my MapThis! It works great. Thanks. :thumbup:
