Program name: POIManager v1.10.4 Purpose: To check the POI data contained in a TomTom Navigator overlay file (.ov2) or text file (.asc) for duplicates and to merge updates into a master file. There is now an option to write just the unmatched update entries to the output file. Entries can be excluded from a master file when it is checked for duplicates.
A sample exclusions file is included.
Installation: Unzip the files POIManager.exe, POIManager.hlp, DumpOV2_v1-2.exe, MakeOV2_v1-1.exe, exclusions.asc and TTN_default_symbol.bmp into the same folder and create a Shortcut on the Windows Desktop to run the program. Right click on the Shortcut icon and select Properties. On the Shortcut Tab edit the Start in: field to point to the directory that will be used by default when opening files.
Compatibilty: Tested on a Windows XP Home edition computer, but it should work on any 32 bit Windows system ie Windows 95 and higher.
DumpOV2_v1-2.exe and MakeOV2_v1-1.exe are older versions of the free conversion utilities made available on the TomTom website. Do not substitute any later versions as these may not work with POIManager.
Thanks are due to Dave Kelly for his suggestion which resulted in the enhancement to exclude specified points.
