I'm trying to convert some data into the TOMTOM POI format, but I keep getting errors and the output file is created but not populated. A simplified version of the workspace that generates the same error is here:

The translation log contains this:

TOMTOM_POI writer: Creating layer 'waypoints' with geometry type 'wkb_unknown'

TOMTOM_POI writer: dataset C:\\Users\\myname\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\_14244_1 does not support layer creation option OVERWRITE

TOMTOM_POI writer: Cannot create GPX layer waypoints with unknown geometry type

TOMTOM_POI writer: Unable to create feature type 'waypoints'. Ensure the dataset is valid, that the user has all required permissions and that the feature type name is valid for the format

TOMTOM_POI Writer: In Feature Type 'waypoints', 'fme_table_handling' has invalid value 'CREATE_IF_MISSING'. Possible values include: 'CREATE_IF_MISSING', 'DROP_CREATE', 'USE_EXISTING'

A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details

 

How do I convert to TOMTOM data correctly?

@ella_s I'm not sure what is causing your issue. I was able to reproduce your error with the workspace you attached. I deleted your writer and then used Writer -> Import Feature Type to import a new waypoint feature type from an existing .ov2 file, that I created using the PoiEdit tool (I've also attached that .ov2 file)

We'll take a closer look at why your workspace failed. In the meantime this should get you moving forward.

Requirements for using the FME TomTom POI reader/writer are in the TomTom POI reader / writer documentation.
