Does anyone know how to create extended POI information for tomtom when working with CSVs and makeov2.exe?

I can create POI files no problem and can see that to add phone numbers requires > after the label then the number. However, for these POIs there is no phone number.

What I want to do is add the descriptions like for Petrol Stations where you click Details and it tells you the fuel company etc. I only need to add one (two would be perfect) field.

A lot of the enthusiast sites lead you to webpage-based POI editors that cram adverts into the POI file, or go around the question or just tell you how they create the actual POIs (which I have been able to do for ages)!

Thanks.

I think this is probably a 'protected' file format used by tomtom to add value to official POIs that use the encrypted poi.dat format.

I'm beginning to suspect that it's not possible using .ov2 - would love to be wrong!

There appears to be some 3rd party tools for creating POI
