ov2optimizer - Usage

I use ov2optimizer to update my POI files as I download them. When Firefox prompts me to "Save" or "Open" the OV2 or CSV file, I choose to open it with ov2optimizer.exe.

When the optimization is complete I am prompted with a "Save" dialog (just as if I had chosen "Save" in Firefox). ov2optimizer remembers the last-used save folder so it defaults to the map directory on my TomTom.

Of course, you can always just

• launch ov2optimizer and choose the file(s) to optimize in the File Open dialog, or,
• you can drag and drop OV2 and/or CSV files onto an ov2optimizer shortcut in Windows Explorer.

Notes

Most of the OV2 files that ship with TomTom devices (i.e., the built-in POIs) are encrypted. If you try to run any of them through ov2optimizer you will get an error message.
