Here's pics of file types, if that helps...

so any word on whether the friend is going to help? or did you send it out to anyone?

muldrick · 10-30-2006, 12:55 PM

Nope. Guess no one can do it. It's beyond my knowledge and time.
Really sucks, I sure was hoping someone could do it.

I sent you a PM muldrick about information for the disc, i am going to give it a go with my friends and call in some favors from my CS (computer science) and SE (software Enginering) friends and there friends to see if we can get anything outta this disc.

muldrick · 11-03-2006, 08:56 AM

I replied. Did u get it?

SangreDeThor · 11-14-2006, 11:35 AM

I replied also and sent the money. hopefully we can get this rolling!

SangreDeThor · 11-24-2006, 03:42 PM

Any updates or progress?

It would be great if this could be done.

I read this reply from iNav in regards to a question emailed to their support team about importing POI's into the software:

"This is one of the top feature requested by endusers. However, current version of iguidance does not support that. All the existing POI's are provided by Navteq Corporation and incorporated into the map raw data. Hopefully, we will be able to provide this feature in the future.

Thank you and we apologize for the inconvenience.
Support Team"

I currently have both Delorme Street Atlas 2007, and iGuidance. I use iGuidance for navigation and Delorme for finding POIs. It is a real pain in the ***.

My only complaint about iGuidance is the lack of POIs.

Anyhow, just wanted to voice my support for anyone working on this!

My friend has not been able to make much progress, but is continuing to work on it

I've posted a request for this on Rent-a-Coder as well with the POI file from my setup. I'll let you all know if I get any hits on it... I've had good luck with this site before, so it might cost me a lil bit to get this done, but at least we'll have it.

I will also do what I can financially to assist with this! Let us know what the bids are like for the project.
