Question Points of Interest

Ive got Tom Tom Navigator on my iPAQ 1940 and have installed the speed camera databases / overlays which display as points of interest.

As I regularly vistit about 1500 telecom tower sites across the country and I have a spreadsheet of their locations by National Grid Ref and Co-ordinates, I was wandering if there is a way of converting this into a Points of Interest File to display on the map. Alternatively, I guess I could store them all individually as favourites when I visit them but it seems it will only store 20 and does not list them alphabetically.

Any help apreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to our forums.
You can compile the list into a POI, there are guides on most good POI sites on how to do this.

Could you please point me to any particular site, as my requirement is pretty simple........along one of my infrequent routes, they have just put up a Gatso camera.......how do I literally 'press a button' to store it ? Sounds daft I know, but would be useful to know all the same...thanks.

You can use the features built in to Checkpoint to add new locations.

As a mobile phone fan, and also interested in who has sites where, I too would be interested in the list of sites you have, as points of interest for my pda. Just out of interest, which network sites do you have lists off please.
