I left his place out on purpose. I'm not interested supporting him. Frankly, I'd rather see you go to PSS or Beechgrove Firearms.

Hey, I downloaded this and put in my TomTom 720 last week. Worked great! Just wanted to say thanks for all the work that went into it. It's a nice feature to have.

Just my opinion, good work leaving Don's out of it.

Wanted to say thanks for doing this.... loaded it up in mine this week. As if my wallet wasn't light enough as it is......

I used this tool: Edit Garmin POI files, TomTom POI files or Navman POI files - Online POI Manager to convert the TomTom file to gpx for use on my Garmin Nuvi 200. Loaded up fine using the Garmin POI Loader, though the custom POIs are sort of hidden when trying to navigate to one of them. On the current software for the Nuvi 2xx series (and maybe others, I cannot verify) you access them via "Where To" -> "Extras" -> "Custom POIs"

I don't personally have a good place to host this gpx file, but it's easy enough to convert it using the tool above.

Thanks for the POIs!

Scutter,

Is it possible to convert this for use with Magellan GPSs? I know you won't be able to test it, but thought I'd try it out.

Thanks,
Josh

So hey, just a heads up, if you ever have the misfortune that, for some reason, you have to go to the range at Willow Slough in NWI, don't use the POI or you'll get lost, it points to the main visitor center which is nowhere near the range. Also, whoever wrote the maps for that area is an idiot, it tells you to turn onto roads that are actually parking areas.

Part in red above has nothing to do with anybody here.

Scutter01 · 04-23-2009

If you you can get me the lat/long*, I can fix it. I had to use the address listed for the range which, in many cases (I'm looking at YOU Atterbury!) is nowhere near the actual range.

*even just a Google Maps link

The main gate at Willow Slough is...
N 40.97567 W -87.52600
The target range at Willow Slough is...
N 41.02291 W -87.50726

Perhaps the converter tool is deficient.

The first entries look like this.

-84.83667 41.75104 Gun_Shops_and_Ra
-87.6375 37.94107 Gun_Shops_and_Ra
-86.22133 39.07384 Gun_Shops_and_Ra
-87.6375 37.94107 Gun_Shops_and_Ra

Maybe the converter is missing some kind of larger, broader, group name or heading?
