well external poi's would be an ok feature but it wouldn't show u how close it is and thats the best example of using a poi database.

It creates file compatible with destinator, so you can use it both with freedrive and mapmonkey. However, only MM has a support for extra POI.

This format isn't supported yet because it's a specific format for MapMonkey Cams. However, I'll eventually implement it.

ok so how do i get your CSV's into mapmonkey unitil that time?

Can i import it into FreeDrive and it wil sow in MapMonkey?

You have to take some TomTom files from some websites (the web is full) and convert them in DAT format. Then copy those DAT under C:\DestinatorApps\Destinator\Common\Favorites. Then run MM, go under favorites and you'll find the new pois.
