Just purchased the Navman ICN 520 and want to put in some of my own
POI's but it requires the latitude and longitude readings for those
places. How and where do you get that info. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

What information*do* you have about each location? It may be possible to
convert it into lat/long.

Can you actually *drive* to each location, and then create a POI at each
one?

Does the ICN 520 enable you to browse the map, and create a POI at the
cursor position? If so, as long as can locate the required points on the
map, you can do it that way.

Thanks for your help. I've just tried browsing the map to where I want
to create the POI and although it won't let me create a POI it does
give me the Lat/Long info that I need under "show details".
Thanks again,

As a matter of interest, what time zone are you in? Your email address seems
to indicate somewhere in Australia, but the time stamp on your message is
7:14am on Monday 5th - which is 19 hours ahead of GMT, and seems rather
unlikely! Maybe your computer clock is 12 hours ahead of itself - and it's
actually only 7:14 pm on Sunday?

Sorry for the delay but I've been away for a few days. Iam in
Australia and am on Pacific standard time. The current time on my
computer is
10.45 pm on 8/12/05

Weird! The timestamp on your message is 6:46am on 9/12/05 - which is 8 hours

hours ahead of your *actual* time.

The timestamp I see is Thu, 08 Dec 2005 22:46:22 -0800

But surely, Pacific Standard Time is the time zone used by the west
coast of USA - e.g. California - *not* somewhere in Australia! Thus
the 'system' thinks that you are 8 hours *behind* GMT - rather than
11 hours *ahead* as you should be!

If you're running a Windows PC, I think your time zone needs to be GMT +10
(Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney) with 'adjust for daylight saving time'
ticked - putting you 11 hours ahead of GMT during your summer. Once you have
changed the zone, you will probably need to adjust the clock to the correct
local time.
