Convert POI File to CSV

[ajsasr]

Hi. Does anyone know if there's a way to convert the POI.dat file to CSV so that names can be edited?

Thanks.

I don't believe there is a single app that takes the poi.dat file, but there was a way to break it down but it wasn't easy. There use to be a web page that explained how to extract the poi.dat file to seperate .ov2 files representing the POI categories. However, the page is no longer up....or at least every time I try and view it its down.

There is a free online tool that will convert it. The only drawback is that it will only work with one word filenames. (I found that out on my own! LOL) Just temporarily re-name the file, upload it, and the site does the rest.
