iGO can be loaded with custom POIs. iGO uses the SQLite database format. You can use a small program called POIconvert. It is used to convert Google KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files into the iGO.db format.

The best way to use our POI database with iGO is to create your own private or custom POI database, save it as KML and convert it with iGO POI Converter (poiconvert.exe) to iGO.db file. We can create online CSV/OV2 to iGO converter if there is any interest for it.

Hi
I added converter for iGO txt file format to our POI Download zone.

Downloaded iGO text file can be edited with Notepad (Windows users)
It has the following header line: X,Y,TYPE,SPEED,DIRTYPE,DIRECTION

Explanation:

X = longitude
Y = latitude
TYPE = type of speed camera ( 1 - fixed speed camera locations; 2 - combined red light and speed cameras; 3 - fixed red light camera locations; 4 - section camera positions; 5 - lasers, hand-held radars and other mobile speed camera locations; 6 - railway crossing; 7 - not constant mobile locations)
SPEED = speed limit in km/h
DIRTYPE = type of direction of the speedcam (0-all directions; 1-one direction; 2-both directions)
DIRECTION = direction in degrees (0-North; 90-East)

DIRTYPE and DIRECTION are optional fields


iGO POI file format sample with radars in France:

X,Y,TYPE,SPEED,DIRTYPE,DIRECTION
6.985255,43.578599,7,66,0,0
1.568052,43.699995,7,66,0,0
2.166368,47.187766,7,66,0,0
4.971652,45.508905,7,66,0,0
3.795558,46.211662,7,66,0,0

I found this navsoon iGO guide how to change iGO 8 safety camera warning sound:

1. Create a folder called "audio" inside IGO8 folder
2. Put a wav file of your choice called !alert5.wav inside that folder
3. This wav will be used the new warning sound

Thanks

Hey,

Figure this out:

Manual to install the poi's on the MIO-iGO

01. Unzip (usual just dubble click) the downloaded zip-file
02. Choose the map with poi's you want (f.e. the poi's with the extension ov2 of TomTom)
03. In the map are the two files, one with the extension .ov2 and with the extension .bmp (these are the files you need to install
04. In your MIO you find the standard poi's in this file My Flash Disk/Miomap/Miomap/igo.db
05. Make a map on your pc and transport the fie igo.db in it
06. To be sure, make a back-up of it
07. Start iGO POI Explorer
08. Choose File > Import > iGO Database from file en select the file igo.db in the map you've made in step 05
09. You will see the announcement: IGO database has been imported from file
10. Click with the right button on IGO POI DATABASE and choose: Import POIs from file here
11. Select in the following screen at the bottom the correct extension type (in our example ov2)
12. Select now in this screen the downloaded and unzipped poi-file
13. Close now the map POI DATABASE by clicking on the - before the map
14. Click with thew right button on IGO POI DATABASE (it turns blue)
15. Choose File > Export > IGO database to file. The program chooses normally the map on your MIo from which igo.db was loaded (the original igo.db will be replaced now).
16. You see left at the bottom the text Exporting iGO database. Depending of the size of the imported poi-file it will take several minutes before the transfer ends.
17. After some patience you can now navigate...

How long it takes to instal a simple iGO file? I have Navman and I thought it has the most difficult POI installation procedure.

Bonne chance!
