Hello all, does anyone know of an add-on for tomtom that runs on
symbian phones that allows me to edit POIs on the phone? Tomtom's
interface on version 6 on the palm was dreadful and I don't think it's
likely to be any better on symbian. I doubt 7 will be any better, I
ran 7 on my 910 before I sold it and that wasn't really much better
either. Being able to move POIs to different categories, rename them
without having to tap the whole name in again, exporting a set of POIs
into a file, putting co-ordinates into a contact in the contacts app
and navigating to that contact would be nice, currently navigating to
a contact is possible but rather cludgy.

Sadly not. The easiest method by far is to do all this on a PC using
an app such as POIedit.

Indeed, I have poiedit somewhere but it would be the only thing I'd be
connecting the phone to the PC for, so not particularly convenient for
me. I didn't hold out much hope to be honest ;-)
