Hello - I'm a newbie to TomTom but have been using GPS equipment since maybe even before Magellan released the first civilian model.

I have created an excel database of over 2600 remote control airplane flying sites worldwide. I have taken the excel file and created a Google Earth file out of part of it that is now actually part of GE's standard program download and included in the 'Favorites'. I would now love to get these POI's in my TomTom. I presently have them on my Magellan GPS's.

I have been doing some Google searchs and have found several sites promoting different programs which will enable me to create a POI file I can upload to my 330XL but I can't find the format used for the columns.

Can anyone please help with pointing me in the right direction for a program that will help me create the TomTom POI file?

Thanks in advance for any help you can pass my way.

POI Editor is one of them
Just load your existing file then save as Tomtom POI file

Thanks for the link pianoCM - This was one of the sites I found earlier using Google. I have tried to use it and it works up to a point. I am trying to import 1414 out of 2600+ rc sites. I deleted all of the columns other then the Lat Long and Name. It is creating a file of all 1400 POI's but it will only bring in maybe 3 to 5 names on any of the pages with 200 POI's per page. Is there a limit to the number POI's one file can contain? I guess the one thing I haven't tried is just importing a small portion at a time. I'll try that here in a second since I just thought of it. It there are any other helpful hints you can share I'd appreciate it.

Thanks again
Gregg
