single Used by gs command to get exactly one poi from a poifile. If the poifile contains more than one pois the gs command may fail. Use first instead.

<name>

Value Description
XXXXXXX Name of a POI. Since poicmd supports various poifile formats I recommend to not use special characters like "':;\/<> etc. because some file formats may not work with such characters.

<type>

Value Description
ov2 TomTom Navigator overlay file.
itn TomTom Navigator itinerary file. Also called "route file".

kmz Google earth KMZ placemark file. Note that this format is currently not directly supported by poicmd.
In order to create KMZ files you can create KML files and use a ZIP program (e.g. WinZip, WinZip Command Line (wzzip.exe)) to zip the KML file to a KMZ file.
