Thanks for the suggestion.

The file menu is already disabled when updating the db but it was possible to close using the X. Fixed now in 0.9 ( not on website yet - maybe tomorrow ) now clicking on X while db is updating shows a message box telling you to wait until update complete.

Version 0.9 now on the website. This version include Google Earth ( kml) file import. Any Placemark loaded as a poi and all Paths output as track segments to <tempdir>/<inputfilename>_trk.gpx. This file may be loaded into MM as a track.
I have just loaded a path which follows the South Stratford canal with all the locks marked with Placemarks into MM as both a track with a set of poi for the locks.

For Version 1.0 I have a couple of ideas and would like to find out if anyone else would have a use for them.

Create a "poi corridor db" based on a route.

Starting with a fully loaded Poi.db
load a route
ask for distance ( half width )
for each trackpoint in route
use radius limitting based on position from trackpoint -> new gpx file
import into new db dumping duplicates

Create a "poi cloud db" based on a position

Starting with fully loaded poi.db
ask for position
use radius limitting based on position -> new gpx file
import into new db

Version 0.95 now on website.

Radius limiting - from the changelog

Friday 31 August



* discovered sqlite3VB.dll this is a wrapper for sqlite3 no longer need sqlite3.exe or sqlite3.dll

also the module to run dos commands and collect output now no longer needed

* Large speed increases - ( although big code changes may have introduced new bugs )

* radius limiting implemented - Uses a large well stocked db ( 13000 records for testing ) enter a

position, radius and filename ie "51.50531 -3.18192",10,"Cardiff" to output Cardiff.db

with just local ( 20 mile diameter ) Poi. 280 record from the above db.

* Started "Route limiting" will need inputs of "error", "width", "routefile" and "output" - will produce

a db with all poi either side of a given route using the width param . When complete this will allow

loading a "route limited db" and then "starting radius db" and "finishing radius db" will give a dumbell

effect.
Route limiting next but I am away again for a week so any problems etc. will have to wait untill then.

I am having some trouble with the POI loader. Every time I try to have the POI loader access my poi.db from the Maemo Mapper program, it give me an error.

"Failed to retrieve catagories
file is encrypted or is not a database"

I have deleted the POI file on my 770 and restarted Maemo Mapper numerous times and this has not helped.

Would it be possible for someone to post a link to an empty poi.db file that works with POI Loader?

Any ideas on why I am getting this error would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think I figured out what the issue was. I think the POI loader was using SQLite 3 and the MM was using SQLite 2.1.

For anyone else having the same issue:
Just do an update to MM in the application manager.

Everything should work now.


Also in the POI loader, there is an option to create a new POI.db.


Hope this helps others in the same trouble I was in.

Back from my trip.

I've had a look at the file your having trouble with - There are newline characters within the data and crlf at the end of the line - it looks like a combination of a unix file and a dos file. If you have access to a linux ( or any unix for that matter ) the following from the command line should fix it.

Code:
cat Starbucks.csv | tr -d "\n" |tr "\r" "\r\n" > new.csv
Unfortunately I don't know of a way to do this from Windows.
