Will On-Route be able to import TomTom ov2 files?

[davidr]

Hi there,

At the moment ov2 files are not supported directly, however it may be possible to use an online conversion tool such as one of these:

OV2 to CSV export tool - online POI data tools from GPS Data Team

Edit Garmin POI files, TomTom POI files or Navman POI files - Online POI Manager

To convert the file to a format useable by On-Route.

HTH,

David

ITNConv is a brilliant and free utility that converts many different GPS/satnav file types - a few examples being:
- CSV (Long/Lat)
- Google Earth (.kml)
- GPS eXchange (.gpx)
- GPX MapSource (.gpx)
- MS AutoRoute (.axe, .axg)
- MapPoint (.ptm)
- MapSource (.gdb, .mps)
- Magellan SD (.rte, .upt)
- TomTom 3,5&6,(.itn, .ov2)
- ViaMichelin (.xvm)

There's a Google Maps app integrated which is really nice as well.
