I gave up and downloaded the conversion software from the TomTom site. Works much better PLUS it puts in the additional "01" records which makes lookups faster. It understands the extended "03" records although the TomTom does not do anything with the additional field.

Go here to get the files. Windows only.

There is another tool that I use, but is not free (it use to be though), called POIVerifier. It's a great program and I use it to convert the .csv files that can't be converted by POIEdit.

All I want is to figure out HOW TT add details into their POIs. I'm making a new POI for CNG, Compressed Natural Gas, station and want to put in Stations pressures, hours of operation and other such items.
