POIViewer

Manage your POI Library

Published by: David Epinette

Description

POIViewer is a POI management tool with a lot of features.
POIViewer can load, manage and display POIs (Points of Interest) on maps.
Places, waypoints, placemarks can be imported and exported, show as pin or configurable icon on maps.
This universal app is very fast even with thousands points, making it the perfect complement to existing apps for navigation or route planning.
And if you really have a lot (>10000), you can selectively show/hide groups of POI on the map.

POIViewer Reviews

A superb app

IanTanton on

United Kingdom

So useful and reliable. My goto app for storing all of my POI. It links seamlessly with Tomtom, My BMW, Google maps, Apple Maps etc. So useful for planning routing and far better than Google maps. I would give POIViewer 10 stars if I could.

Useless

Majero1808 on

United Kingdom

How to put pin on the map in the place I wont, no menu, on developer site videos not working so you can’t get explanation on how this app work or how to change to view from Apple Maps to google maps. Not working not doing anything.

Saves so much time!

I have been looking for an app which can take KMLs and convert to directions in google maps! Finally I have found the app! Great alternative to a sat nav, and much easier to load!

Great app

JackRoutledge1 on

United Kingdom

Got all the points of interest from my work Tom Tom and put them on this app. Works great, much prefer using Waze etc for traffic and car play!

Excellent app

DeanHughes15 on

United Kingdom

Really handy for my job and the locations I access use the ov2 format file, saves having to use the TomTom all the time. One less thing to carry. Also my phone is a lot faster than the TomTom

Great App but....

It will not load selected places into the TomTom UK & Ireland App.

Best Poi App

United Kingdom

This is a really great app. I have over 15,000 WW2 UK defence sites in various groups with custom icons. Loads quickly and easy to use. Only thing I wish for is offline maps and facility to add non geotagged photos from camera roll.

Brilliant

This is a fantastic app for viewing your POIs. When I downloaded it, the app didn't support opening POIs in the new TomTom Go app. So I sent an email to the developer and within a week an update has come out that now supports this - now it's perfect!

Brilliant

Why should I need a Nickname? on

United Kingdom

It simply works! Only POI app I have found that will work with TomTom. Developer very quick to answer emails etc.

POI Mapp app

Birvy on

United Kingdom

Really like this app, have been looking for an app to upload my own POI files to from my TomTom (.ov2). Since there are thousands of POI locations contained in my file, I couldn't type them in one by one, but with this you simply upload the .ov2 file into this app via iTunes, and they all show up on the map, with view options for basic map, satellite or both. The POIs will display as per the .bmp image you upload and assign to the POIs exactly like a TomTom. The only negative is I can't search through the POIs on the front map screen, it seems to actually locate the POI, but it flashes up for a 1/10th of a second in the search results, then says "no results found". You can still search for POIs under the "places" tab no problem, and then just click the "show on map" tab. If this can be fixed it would be 5 stars.
