AIDKA uploaded into TOMTOM ,Now Garmin and Navman!

[mike]

Hi People

Thought you would like to know that if you have a Tomtom GPS you can now download the AIDKA point of interest from the website or Tomtom home.

I just finished making it. Its not complete. I am missing 3 tracks Loxton , Morgan and Kambalda. Could not locate them on google earth. If anyone can help let me know.

Was also thinking about doing one for australian speedway tracks if there is any interest.

Let me know what you think

Nice Idea, it can be hard finding tracks you have never been to.

[Karterdude!]

Agreed, Nice Idea

This is an excellent idea and if only the same could be done for the navman range would be good I don't know if it can be or not.

Kambalda from what I can remember is being built on an old speedway site so you may find it that way.

Found the speedway in Kambalda. So will update that soon
Will look at doing the same for the Garmin and Navman range. Dont have them so I will have to investigate

Anyone know about Loxton and Morgan? Both the street names listed on the AIDKA website seem to be non existant

OK Guys and Girls

Just uploaded the New update for TomTom. Get it from TomTom Home. Or Download from www.filefactory.com/file/a2g5ffb/n/TomTomAIDKA.zip
Unzip to your TomTom Device under File name AUSTRALIA and its done

Finished doing the POI files for Navman and Garmin. Now these aren't as straight forward to do like the TomTom upload.

OK first one is Navman. If i get the instructions wrong. Sorry

1) Get Navdesk 2009 if you don't already have it and install.
navdesk-2009.software.informer.com/download/
2) Download the Zip file containing the POI www.filefactory.com/file/a2g5edf/n/AIDKA_Dirt_Kart_Clubs.zip
3) Unzip to a location you will remember
4) Connect your Navman device to the computer via the USB cable
5)Once the software has detected your unit, select ‘Custom POIs’
6) Click on ‘Browse’ and locate the file
7) Select ‘New Category’ and name it appropriately like AIDKA Tracks or something like that
8) You need to add a visual alert to the POI’s and set the distance at which you wish to be alerted. The visual icon MUST be a .bmp file. I have loaded one into the Zip file so you can use that if you want.
9) Once you have completed this, Select ‘Add to device’
10) Once the information has been transferred to your device, please press ‘OK’
11) Close the NavDesk2009 software and remove the unit from the computer.

The unit will now display your custom POI’s upon approach.

Note: These instructions are based on what I read on the navman website. I haven't tried them so you guys are the guinea pigs ;D Let me know if they work or not, or if you know a better way to do it.


GARMIN

1) Download POI Loader and installwww8.garmin.com/software/POILoaderforWindows_254.exe
2) Download the Zip File and extract to a location you will remember.www.filefactory.com/file/a2g5edf/n/AIDKA_Dirt_Kart_Clubs.zip
3) Follow the steps on POI Loader

Sorry don't have much more info than that. Very vague on their website. Again, if someone knows another way let me know. Generally it isn't very hard to do this.

As Far as I know the files for the Navman and Garmin will work on other GPS systems that require the .CSV files. So these 2 downloads should cover over 95% of the GPS systems out there including your mobile phones.

Still Need Morgan and Loxton if someone has a proper street address or cross streets its near or GPS Co ordinates, anything really.

Have started on the speedway tracks. As you could imagine its a very big list, so it may take some time.

Any Questions or Problems Please let me know and I will try to help.
