Couldn't get rcull's script + sqlite to work on the n770, but I might try later on my desktop.

I'm going in to town tomorrow and it would be nice to get the KML of the fon hotspots into maemo mapper but I've not yet been successful. Googled, checked this forum (boy are those captchas hard!) tried winmapper, this script etc...

I hope gnuite will have the time and interest to make KML import into mapper a breeze. Thanks for a very good app.

check out this thread about "Poi_loader".

It is a windows app, but it will import gpx waypoints into poi.db

I used it sucessfully on a geocaching pocket query file.
I found the attached png icon (must change to a .jpg for mapper)

So I accidentally deleted my poi.db file and can't figure out how to make a new one. I have the N800 and sqlite3. I've restarted maemo (which I was told would simply add a new one and it doesn't). I've also tried adding a new one in xterminal but must be doing something wrong. Does anyone have a empty poi.db file they can post or a way to make a new one? Thanks

Make sure that the directory in which the poi.db file is supposed to be (as indicated in the "POI" tab of the Settings dialog) exists and is writable. Maemo Mapper will create the database file on startup, if it doesn't exist and that directory does (and is writable).
