Limit on number of POI's in an x40?

HenryMitchell

My old GO 910 was limited to 100 POI's before it crashed. Does anyone know if the new x40's have the same limit?

It's 169 on the Go x20 and x30 ranges.
I haven't heard any different for the x40's.

Excellent! Plenty of room then for the PGPSW camera data then... Laughing

I was asked by the keeper of all knowledge (my wife), how many POI's she could have active on her 720.

Would someone care to remind me if the 169 POI's:

1. are active POI's i.e. those that are ticked to show up on your Screen, and you can have any number of additional POi's on your TomTom x20/x30/x40, but cannot see them, or

2. is that a total of 169 of both active and inactive POI's?

3. And does that 169 include the TomTom POI's.

Thanks in advance

The TT POI set are included but if you don't want to use them you can remove the poi.dat file from the map directory in the unit but make sure you keep it somewhere safe for re-installation. This frees up a lot more space...

Also, I think the TT speed camera set for each country count as a POI set in terms of the total number on the unit but I could be corrected on this...

The limit of 169 is the number of OV2 Files that exist in a Map Folder. Above that and a random selection will not be seen by the software.

poi.dat and it's contents do not have a bearing on the 169 limit.

If you have a significant number of POIs 'ticked' (Enabled), this will slow down the screen refresh rate. Sometimes described as 'jerkiness'. You can still use them even if they are not Enabled.

If you wish to see them on screen it is better to use Warn When Near as this doesn't have the same effect. If you don't want a warning for each one, use the Type in your own warning menu and use an underscore ("_"). It's on the ~&? keyboard.

Right here goes.

This is a 910, 7.900 software and the 815.2023 W&C Europe Map.

I put 308 Custom POIs into the Map Folder.

Using the Delete POI Category Menu I was able to Page Down and counted 250 categories. Shocked

I double checked by going into the Warn When Near menu and I still had 250, plus those that are in poi.dat
