I threw this together for my Garmin last year: http://gist.github.com/52513 poi.rb takes a file of addresses, geocodes them, and creates a .csv file poimerge.rb takes two POI .csv files and tries to identify duplicates and likely duplicates You might want to check out http://www.poi-factory.com/ for a lot of general POI and GPSr resources. -Rob Rob Biedenharn http://agileconsultingllc.com Rob-xa9cJyRlE0mWcWVYNo9pwxS2lgjeYSpx@public.gmane.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Either figure out the format and just write it out, or visit http://www.poi-factory.com/node/6675 and get a tool that will do the csv=>ov2 conversion and just write out the csv with ruby (and FasterCSV) -Rob On Jan 30, 2009, at 10:46 AM, jef wrote:> > My problem is to make ov2 file.
