POI Loader

 
Sat, 01/23/2010 - 12:45am

I load my poi's manually.
There seems to be a set pattern in the loader for each file in that it keeps coming up with a set alert pattern each and every time I load. I have to change it every time.
How/can I change this to fit my priorities.
There does not appear to be any trigger words in the file name.
Can someone shed some light on this?

Any numbers in the names?

Numbers in filenames are assumed to be speed camera alert speeds. Your non-speed camera files should not have any numbers in the file names.

You can convert to GPX

You can convert the files to GPX and embed alert information into the file. I now load almost 80% GPX files that are converted from some of the CSV on this site. Using Extra_POI_Editor you can convert the files quickly and with a couple of keystrokes insert speed and/or proximity alerts. Once the files are converted and set, you can then run POI Loader in auto -I do with 190,000 POI locations.

One of the files did have a numerical rev embedded.
Thanks
