Just as a matter of interest -- can you enter a favourite or POI by entering Lat and Long coordinates
If so how do you do it...
I have a Tom Tom CLASSIC

Some of the info here or here may help. If I remember correctly, once you have a POI, you can save it (or at least, its position on the map) as a favourite.

The first works OK. The second is for TTN5, it won't work on a GO, yet.

Might be that there is a small program out there though that I could enter lats- longs into and make it a poi which I could paste on to the map folder??

You should check out the program PoiEdit at www.poiedit.com
It allows you to enter coordinates and then save them as TomTom ov2 files to create POIs. |

I doubt it, but I don't have a Classic. Does anybody, who has one, have any suggestions?

The way I do it is to use AutoRoute. Input Lat/Long, Edit Text on Push Pin and Save as .axe File.
Use POIConverter to convert .axe File to .ov2 File. Copy/Paste to Map Folder. This works on any TomTom Device.
POIConverter will create a default Icon which can be changed to what you like.
