in7ane, okey, i don't know anything, sad but true :P
If you want me to look something up i'll do it....

By the way, did you see the post i did before, with all the important citys in Sweden? Maybe it is possible to put them all together?
But if you want you can only do this for the "Gothenburg.pba" or "Göteborg.pba" (same file) and i'll try it out!

Thanks alot!

A guide on POI's would be really useful because at the moment everytime I try to load them I barely see a window appear and disappear saying "Corrupt Data". Using GMDL Tool to get them.

I created a basic POI tutorial. It is again in .mov format within the zipped archive. I am getting the hang of this bit more. The program I am using is simlar to the one I use at work but it is a little different and you might see me editing some of the prompts but don't let that confuse you. Again, this is how I do it. If you have any changes or have any suggestions let me know. Have fun!! Thanks Deniska and in7ane!!

very nice tutorial zashley1, I just learned the trick to divide the map in smaller area when creating POIs, thanks

OK I created a "better" map_dl tutorial for posting on this forum. I am using a topographical map in this one but you can choose what you want. Enjoy.

I just now realized that I posted the tutorials that are showing "certain map tools by certain major websites that shouldn't be up". I contacted the webmaster requesting them removed. So, if you need em get em before they are gone. I'll try to use some OpenStreetMap.org maps next. Sorry anyone I might of stepped on - only trying to help. I will repost my latest - thanks again guys.

JoQ, what is the source of the pba files (I'm looking for some documentation, specifically what columns 7 and 8 are) since I no longer think the coordinates are just easting, northing as they don't make sense in the context of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_grid

see: http://www.in7ane.com/psp/posts/pba_geodata.png

there seems to be a dimension to the data that I'm missing when just considering the coordinate set column (9)

As for creating a single file for all the pba's - sure, you can just paste them together or I'll set it up to read in all pba files in a directory.

in7ane, i'll will check with the guy i got them from, he said they were from a program. I'll check...

Thanks for taking your time to help!
