Hi Brains of the club.

Can anyone let me know where I find the POI files for club sites to download to a sat nav?

    It might be you are trying to find them without logging on. They are only available to logged on members and you will find them under UK sites/Planning routes >here<

    Sorry again. Has anyone down loaded the POI files to a Volvo sensus system. If so which files and how were they converted?

    Download the Garmin csv file along with the bmp (the bmp will be the map icon), find an online converter and convert the csv to gpx, rename the gpx and the bmp files with the same filenames such as camc.gpx and camc.bmp.

    Transfer onto a USB stick that is formatted FAT32 and stick it into the USB port in the car, then follow the cars prompts to import POIs.

    If you visit Archie’s website you can download a file for all the sites in Europe. When I checked it at the weekend it seemed to have local CLs and commercial sites as well as main sites.

    Don’t bother; just download Archies as I mentioned earlier. I checked my SatNav yesterday (first time for a year or so) and it has the CL on the Isle of Wight that we booked.

    Hi All,

    I have already booked a ferry from Portsmouth to Santander with Brittany ferries (Car + Caravan).

    I now want to include bike's on the car roof which does not exceed the original height declared, do I have to let Brittany Ferries know 

     

    Many thanks 

     

    Bob

    You need to start a new discussion in the Overseas section as I don't think anyone will find it buried here in POI's? BTW I suspect you would have to let BF know.

     Because they are not there. Two days ago, what was there didn't work on my PC, but I have managed to down load those for  Garmin (csv files) OK onto my tablet. Problem is both those for CLs and Club sites are identical. There are no POIs for Club sites! The files are not dated, a deliberate error I suspect so members won't know how old they are.frown

    When they eventually get sorted, you can always download the Garmin ones and use conversion software to change the format into that for TomTom.

    Thanks for correcting. Club site POIs now available.
