POI Mega File - pushpin collections for truckers, RVers, and other travelers

est is the extension for S&T map files. You should be able open it in S&T 2010 by clicking (or double clicking) on it.

Don, download the POI Mega File from page #1 of this thread.

Don,

The megafile is just like the files you have been opening. Use the command File Open, not the Data Wizard.

Let us know. Once you open it, read the "flash screen" then delete it and your are ready to go!

Is there a reason I can't find KOA's on the Mega File? Other then me being blind!

Many thanks to the great replies on finding my POI's, I thought they were stored in S & T. I see now that they only open up in S&T. I could not find that information in Streets & Trips HELP files or else I just missed it.

Thanks a lot for your replies.

Hi Lee,

In order for a pushpin collection to be included in the POI megafile it must meet 2 criteria. 1) it must be free 2) owner of the data must give permission to share it out in this way.

I think it would be a great idea for KOA to provide a database but maybe they don't yet realize the opportunity they are missing!

Thanks Larry..... I thought I was going crazy not being able to find it. Now that I know it's not there I will quit looking....

I downloaded the Mega POI file but don't know where it is supposed to be placed in Streets. Also can't get it to display the new POI's or show them in legends. Is there a function to install them? I'm lost.

Is there a manual somewhere that tells how to use Streets. Help doesn't seem to answer all my questions.

Could it be because I only have a 60 day trial copy and it hasn't installed all of the features?

There is nothing disabled in the trial version. If the download is an est file, you can open it in S&T by clicking on it. If csv, you can import it. If its a zip, unzip it first!

One of the best places to look for information about S&T besides this forum is the Streets & Trips Team Blog.

I did unzip it. Don't know how to get it into Streets and show up in Legends.

RS

The download is an est file or will be after you unzip it. Make sure you know where you put it and open S&T 2010. From File-Open find and choose the est file. The results will show on the Legend and Overview tab under the Pushpins header. Click on the + to the left of it if it is not already open

That's just the problem, I Don't know where to put it and nobody will tell me. It doesn't do it automatically. Like I said it's not intuitive.

RS

Nothing you download is ever put where the program expects to look! There is nothing unintuitive about that. If you don't want to create a folder for S&T to store the files you create or download, check where File-Open normally looks and place your download there!
