2. Installation instructions

2.1 TomTom devices

Copy both files from the TomTom subdirectory onto the navigation device that is connected as external medium, or onto the memory card. The destination directory is the map directory that can have different names, dependent on the part of the map, e.g. "Europe_East".

Optionally you can change further settings for this category of POIs "CNG_E-Europe", e.g.

2.2 Devices that use the GPS Exchange Format

Unfortunately I do not know which devices use that format and cannot provide instructions. Please have a look at the user manual of your device or search the internet.

2.3 Garmin devices

Please use the Garmin POI Loader to create a GPI file from the CSV file in the Garmin subdirectory and optionally further CSV files from other sources, and to store the file on your device.
During GPI file creation you can configure an approach warning, too.

2.4 Google Earth

If Google Earth is installen on your system, opening the CNG_E-Europe.kml file in the GoogleEarth subdirectory will automatically start Google Earth and load and display the data.

Please use at least version 6.x of Google Earth. Up to version 5 the markers can be shown at wrong positions.

2.5 iGO

The upoi format ist intended for iGO 8.3, but it could not yet be tested. I have no information if it is suitable for any other iGO version. For installation please consider the hints in http://poiplaza.com/index.php?p=cm_igo8
Please give me feedback if the upi file is working for iGO!

2.6 Other devices, other formats

If your device needs any other POI file format, please send me an email with the needed format, if possible together with a format description or an unencrypted example file.
Then I will try to provide that format.
Please note, my free time is very limited, so that can take some time.
For a quick self-made solution please use an online POI converter, e.g. one from this list.
