Hello Errol - when you say they wont open do you mean the RAR file (a compression format) you download initially or the ov2 file (tomtom format) contained inside the RAR file.
If you have a Tomtom device (you dont say)...First you need to uncompress the RAR file, get free demo of winrar here v 3.61 at top of list
www.rarlab.com/download.htm
then you need to connect your device to your PC then access it by going to My Documents> TomTom> AustraliaMap, then just Copy and Paste the *.ov2 and *.bmp files into that directory. Then close and remove your TomTom from your PC and start it up. Then go to POI and the file shall be there ready for use.
If you have some other gps device (magellan, garmin for example) first use POIEdit program
www.poiedit.com/
to convert the ov2 files to the correct format for what ever device format you require (assuming it is supported)
GPX format is quiet universal so that is not a bad format to go to - If you use a Magellan (and Mapsend Lite), or a Garmin (with Mapsource) or OziExplorer you can convert ov2 to gpx format and import that way.
Cheers
