Doesnt seem to work, takes an 85k OV2 file and makes a 1k UPI file :-{

[goldrunner9k]

has always worked for me. post your file and I'll have a go at translating it for you.

I hear the POI's for version 7.7 have changed. Will this converter work, is it just filename change?

[goldrunner9k]

I do not have the latest version so I don't know if it will work for you.

[goldrunner9k]

McGuider 7.7 (2009) and Sygic Mobile 2009 use a unique database format for their custom POIs with the extension .UPI. Unfortunately it is slightly different to the format used in McGuider 7.5 (2008) and Sygic Drive so the previous instructions and software do not currently work.


Sygic (the programmers behind McGuider) have released a convertor to create UPI files from tab delimited text files of the right format. It only supports a single file conversion at a time but it does support command line options which allow batch files.

here is the new translator
