    Default Share your POI files here

    Here is mine which shows all the speed cameras on UK roads.

    There is one file which shows every camera in the uk, but it can get quite cluttered on the screen as it also shows all the mobile speed camera locations. So I have also split the file into separate files for each kind of camera:

    Gatso
    Mobile
    Temp
    Specs
    Redlight

    I have also included a demo map for you to test the files out

    Let me know if you find this useful

    there is a lot of sites offering/selling POI's for several countries and with formats for many GPS devices...

    One could make a simple tool for conversion to MapThis! POI format... I could try myself to do so but since Thats about to change its not the best timming to do so.

    which kind of POI does MapThis support?

    .ov2 files are recognized?

    PS
    i've found a nice utility to convert poi (it works even under OSX). The name is GPSBabel and can convert to many different formats. which one should i use for Mapthis?

    map this uses it's own format, which is farely simple... (see the readme file)

    in7ane's tool does conversion from some common formats (for those, blessed with MS windows)

    thanx Deniska. i was just trying to find something that works with mac. Your application (and the in7ane one) are absolutely great, i'm just wondering if there's some way to make it closest to my platform.
    Regards from Italy, everything works like a charm here.

    Any joy with this? I'm on a Mac too, and am struggling to get anything other than the world map that was included in MapThis 3... there must be a way...

    I'll keep hunting and let you know my findings. Let me know if you find anything...

    Can anyone make me a map of London so I can test GPS290 beta out a little more accurately... I'm mac based, and getting an emulator to run windows this end is proving a nightmare - been trying things all day, and getting nowhere fast! Everyone i know has a mac too...

    all help will be hugely apprieciated.
