Offline POI database

[ta-ka]

Could you provide POI data for Japan?

[john_percy]

Could you please provide a db for Great Britain (not just the constituent parts)

thanks for new db files.

@members
see first post and RTFM

btw.
the accomodation bug still exists
should be accommodation.

So therefore there is no translation and no icon again.


edit
hint to correct the small blemish for firefox user:
install the addon "SQLite Manager"

I have installed SQLite Manager, but I cannot find how to start it. What should I do?
In Firefox 3, Songbird and Flock, you will find a menuitem called "SQLite Manager" under the Tools menu. Clicking it will start the manager. In Firefox 4, if the menu bar is not hidden, you can still access SQLite Manager from the Tools menu as described above. However, if the menu bar is hidden, SQLite Manager can be accessed from the Web Developer menu under the Firefox menu on top left. You can also add an icon for SQLite Manager to your toolbar by customizing it.

start SQLite Manager and open your poidb
edit this one:

..done.
copy the poidb into your vector map folder.
Now we have a translated label and an icon:

I use the German map of whole germany (Locus shop) and couldn't find the corresponding OfflinePOI DB. I prefer complete Germany because (during holiday in the field) I don't want to think about the Bundesland and need to switch when searching the POI DB for a certain type of POI (toilets, castles, ...).
Some lag in display is ok for me at large DB. Could you please provide whole Germany DB?

Hi,
i downloaded the sweden map from openandromaps.com and rename it to Sweden.osm.map. Then I downloaded the Sweden,osm.db from first post an placed it in the same folder.
I try to activate the poi for a hour but it dosen't work

I even can't find "TESTING FEATURES -> Points of interest" in the german free version (3.1.3).

It would be nice if anyone give me a little bit support because i actually need it tomorrow 
thanks!

Warning
New generated data has invalid naming. So it you'll use these files in Locus version 3.1.3.9 and below, change ending of files from *.osm.db to *.poi.db . In next version, both namings will work. Sorry for troubles.

have you renamed db-file?

place the Icon in BETA on right side panel, after that you are able to use it in PRO

The Icon is only in BETA !!

have you renamed db-file?

Yes I did.
