Hi help trying to down load my low bridges poi file to my TT i managed to do it however it doesnt seem to have loaded on to the TT as one file like my other poi's just has loads of individual ov2 files it all works ok but just doesnt seem right if you look at it?is there any way of downloading it as one file?

Hi sluggs1,

to the forum!

I'm afraid that I don't own any TomTom PNDs newer than a 730 and a 950. I used to buy a new one every 18 months or so but I haven't bought any later PNDs purely because newer TomTom PNDs don't allow full third party POIs. Please don't get me started on TomTom and POIs as I'm liable to rant for days!

My understanding of "MyDrive" is that you can import your own third party POIs onto the TomTom unit and possibly navigate to those POIs. However I do not think that the .BMP files are downloaded therefore you cannot see the POIs on the map or navigation screens, nor can you set proximity alerts for POIs.

As I said - I may be wrong, but I don't think that MyDrive will be useful for your low bridges poi file.

Regards,
