Convert OV2 to MID

Understanding OV2 and MID file formats

The OV2 file format is primarily associated with TomTom navigation devices. It is used to store points of interest (POI) data, which includes locations, names, and other relevant information. These files are essential for users who want to customize their navigation experience by adding specific locations or landmarks.

On the other hand, the MID file format is a standard format for storing musical data. It is widely used in the music industry to represent musical notes, tempo, and other musical elements. MID files are compatible with various music software and devices, making them a versatile choice for musicians and composers.

Converting OV2 to MID

Converting an OV2 file to a MID file is not a straightforward process, as these formats serve entirely different purposes. However, if you need to extract data from an OV2 file and use it in a musical context, you may need to manually interpret the data and create a MID file using music software.

Best software for OV2 to MID conversion

Since there is no direct conversion tool for OV2 to MID, you may need to use a combination of software tools:

• POIEdit: This software can be used to open and view OV2 files. You can extract the necessary data and save it in a format that can be interpreted for musical purposes.
• MuseScore: Once you have the data, you can use MuseScore to manually input the musical notes and create a MID file. Use the File → Export → MIDI option to save your work as a MID file.

While this process requires manual intervention, it allows for creative interpretation of the data from OV2 files into a musical format.
