FAQ - Compatibility questions

Can I use PoiEdit with this or that device?

  • First check the compatibility matrix on this site to find out if your device is available.
  • If your device is ActiveSync compatible: use the Open Remote/Save Remote functions and the +PDA button in the AutoUpdate Manager to read and write poi-files from and to your device using PoiEdit.
