Strange POI Problem!

Pritch · Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2008 12:22 pm Post subject: Strange POI Problem!

I have created several POI categories for my work & private destinations etc. Originally these were all created on my 710 with the v675 W&CE Map, now they are transferred onto my 720 with the v710 WE Map.
Within each category there are POI's scattered between England and Germany (my home location is in Germany).
For most of these categories, I can search a POI as a destination and the list will show all POIs in the category, regardless of which country the POI is in.
However, I have one category which will not show any of the POIs in England when I want to navigate to a destination there.
I can browse the map and see that the POI is there, so they definitely exist...
Short of deleting and recreating each of these POIs in England, any idea what could be wrong with this category?

Thanks.

If i am correct if the POI is on a bit of land where there is no road near it the unit will not navigate to it. You are better putting the POI at the entrance of the company/place as that is where the road ends and the POI needs to be on a road for the unit to navigate to it. Does this help.

When you are trying to navigate to a POI the tomtom will show the nearest 24 POIs in that category. If the POI file which is giving problems has 24 or more POIs in Germany it wont show you the ones in England. You should be able to navigate to the ones in England by using the Find button at the bottom of the screen and entering any part of the name of a POI in England.
