Posted: Tue Jan 04, 2005 11:57 am Post subject: POI - is there a maximum? |
|
|
I use TomTom Go v 4.400 and find the POI feature fantastic. Especially the speed camera databases, which I find gives better rozzers protection than a £350 radar/laser detector I used to have.
My problem is that I think i've gone overboard with the number of POI databases I am using!
I have 65 new POI databases copied onto it now in addition to the standard pre-supplied ones, and each time I copy a new one it doesn't appear in the list of available POI's to enable/disable!
Please note this is not a problem about "How do I install a POI" - I have done this successfully many times, and am not a newbie!
Is anyone aware of a maximum number of POI databases one can use on their TomTom Go? If not has anyone had problems where you copy across a .ov2 and it's associated.bmp but the POI stubbornly refuses to appear on the Tom Tom Go display?
Cheers! |

Unless I'm misremembering, the limit - which I also believe is 40 categories - applies only to add-in POI categories. The built in POI categories do not count towards the limit.

cheers guys, great quick response
so when I say i've got 65 total, i reckon there must be about 25 predefined ones, so yeah that tally's with 40 of your own.
I will delete a couple and report back. what's going to go, Mcdonalds, pizza hut, KFC....decisions decisions!
(anyone know WHY we are limited to just 65 POI categories???) |

Well mine seems to have 42 built-in categories (including one or two which are really useful in the UK - like Frontier Crossing!)
So if you can have another 40, that makes 82 - which is a pretty "un-round" number in any numbering system I can think of!.Odd! |
