GeoPoi v. 0.3.0 is now available for testing here.

Installation: Download the geopoi_0.3.0-1_all.deb using Mozilla browser. Opening the file should open the application manager. Note: Before installation, you need to have python2.5 (including python2.5-hildon, python2.5-gtk2, python2.5-osso, python2.5-xml modules) installed. (Installation instructions for python are here, modules can be installed with apt-get)

GeoPoi 0.3.0 converts files between some common Point of Interest (POI) formats which specify latitude and longitude coordinates as well as some other information about POIs. Specifically, it can

• read Pocket Queries available from geocaching.com. Both (optionally zipped) gpx and loc formats are supported. It is possible to read individual files or all files in one directory.
• read and write Comma Separated Value Ascii files (csv) available, e.g. from http://www.gps-waypoints.net. Every line contains one POI. An example of a line: "24.0, 60.0, Some Name, Some Description, Category Number". (Description and Category Number are optional)
• write POI files in Maemo Mapper database format (.db). Every cache type will have its own category and URLs are put into descriptions (you can copy/paste the URL into your browser). If you open an existing database file, the POIs will be appended to it, otherwise a new POI database file is created.
• write TomTom navigator .ov2 files. This means that you can export geocache locations or other POIs into your compatible car navigator.
• write Nokia Landmark Exchange Format (.lmx) Files. You can either save all POIs in one file or separate files (recommended). Then, using File Manager (Send ..) of N8x0 and bluetooth connection you can send the files into your phone.

You can also copy the geopoi (Python) file (from /usr/bin/geopoi) to your desktop computer and run the software on that.

Note: the software is under development and is intended mainly for testing purposes. Use at your own risk. Report bugs you find. In bug reports, run the software from X Terminal shell (/usr/bin/geopoi) and include the output into report.
