I've reached out to ALK a few weeks ago to get compatability information and other questions. I had sent them an email this morning to follow up with a couple more questions:
As I change devices every few weeks - will I have a problem registering and un-regestering on devices? Some programs, like the DVD Studio only allow a couple of installations before they lock you out saying that it's been installed on too many devices.
Can customized POI files be downloaded and loaded on the devices, and if so, what file types are compatible.
I hadn't had too much luck getting information right from their web site - which tells me it's in plain site hiding from me.
I will post the answers here if/when I receive them.
-- And now, back to your regularly scheduled forum - already in progress . . .
I received a reply via email on Friday answering my questions -
Switching devices:
If you switch phones, when you uninstall the program it deactivates the key code so you can use it on another device. If you need help with that, we have a tech support team that will assist with the deactivation/activation process. (ok, I knew that - but my question was whether I'd have a problem after doing this multiple times...)
Importing Custom POI's:
You can only import csv files for custom places and the only columns that you can have for the custom POI’s is Name, Latitude, Longitude and Phone Number. Any further questions regarding custom POI’s has to be directed to technical support(cpsupport@alk.com or 1-888-872-8768 ext. 551).
Hope this helps others as well.

Hmmm... Maybe
Will this work with CoPilot 10?
What are we refering to?

CoPilot 10
This web site, POI Factory.
Will it download into my oPilot 10 site on my laptop?
Thanks,

I also use the CoPilot 10 GPS system and would like to know if you ever found out if the POI Factory files could be used in it.
Thanks
I have that same question
