Thanks for the suggestion.

The file menu is already disabled when updating the db but it was possible to close using the X. Fixed now in 0.9 ( not on website yet - maybe tomorrow ) now clicking on X while db is updating shows a message box telling you to wait until update complete.

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

Version 0.9 now on the website. This version include Google Earth ( kml) file import. Any Placemark loaded as a poi and all Paths output as track segments to <tempdir>/<inputfilename>_trk.gpx. This file may be loaded into MM as a track.
I have just loaded a path which follows the South Stratford canal with all the locks marked with Placemarks into MM as both a track with a set of poi for the locks.

For Version 1.0 I have a couple of ideas and would like to find out if anyone else would have a use for them.

Create a "poi corridor db" based on a route.

Starting with a fully loaded Poi.db
load a route
ask for distance ( half width )
for each trackpoint in route
use radius limitting based on position from trackpoint -> new gpx file
import into new db dumping duplicates

Create a "poi cloud db" based on a position

Starting with fully loaded poi.db
ask for position
use radius limitting based on position -> new gpx file
import into new db

Would love to try out Poi_loader esp. since it now inports Google kml, however, am getting an error: "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /Poi_Loader09.zip on this server."

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

My apologies to anyone trying to download 0.9 Permissions where wrong. Should be sorted now.

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

I am trying to load starbucks csv from following link
http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/t...TOPIC_ID=66645

i copied that file into my c:\temp and my poi file is also there. when i tried with poi loader program it is giving following error.

Profile does not exists c:\temp\starbuckscanada.gpx

i loaded so many other csv files from the same site without problem but i end up with this error for starbucks and timhortons....any help?

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

I am having some trouble with the POI loader. Every time I try to have the POI loader access my poi.db from the Maemo Mapper program, it give me an error.

"Failed to retrieve catagories
file is encrypted or is not a database"

I have deleted the POI file on my 770 and restarted Maemo Mapper numerous times and this has not helped.

Would it be possible for someone to post a link to an empty poi.db file that works with POI Loader?

Any ideas on why I am getting this error would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

I think I figured out what the issue was. I think the POI loader was using SQLite 3 and the MM was using SQLite 2.1.

For anyone else having the same issue:
Just do an update to MM in the application manager.

Everything should work now.


Also in the POI loader, there is an option to create a new POI.db.


Hope this helps others in the same trouble I was in.

Back from my trip.

I've had a look at the file your having trouble with - There are newline characters within the data and crlf at the end of the line - it looks like a combination of a unix file and a dos file. If you have access to a linux ( or any unix for that matter ) the following from the command line should fix it.

Unfortunately I don't know of a way to do this from Windows.
