Hi! We see you’re using an ad-blocker. We’re fine with that and won’t stop you visiting the site.
But as we’re losing ad-revenue from this then why not make a donation towards website running costs?. Or you could disable your ad-blocker for this site. We think you’ll find our adverts are not overbearing!
Once it's installed and running, you then need to click on the icon in the PC's system tray (next to the clock) and select "Add community content"
From there, you will get a browser screen (yes, it uses your web browser...) that looks something like this:
Click on the "Add POI" box and you can add all the .ov2 camera data files AND the .bmp icons AND the .ogg warning voices, just the same as we used to do in the old way, as well as any other POI files you had. (From the picture, you can see I've already done it).
It's not immediately obvious on the file selection window, but you can click and drag (or hold the 'Ctrl' key down and click) to select multiple files for uploading at the same time; but apparently this sometimes won't work if you use Internet explorer as your browser. It works fine in Firefox, Opera etc.
If you wanted to remove the POI files that can only be done one by one, but when you do your weekly updates of the camera database, there's no need to do that.
Simply select all the new .ov2 files and upload those to the TomTom (there's no need to do the icons and sound files again). The new files will overwrite the old ones just like we are used to in the old method.
Incidentally, if you still have the Go540, you might be interested in TomTom's Content Transfer Assistant, a little-known tool that an help you move all your POIs, Favourites, Home location etc. from the old machine to the new one. _________________ "Settling in nicely" ;-)
