You POI's should go into your map folder

Tap the satellite bars on your unit. The next screen hows the version number of the application installed on your unit. Now, tap the version number and the next screen shows what map is installed on your unit.

Well, it is a folder on your unit called that which GarCor was referring to. Not a folder called 'map'.

just to elabrate on dhn's post the maps folder would be called for example ( western central europe or north america or something like that)

Unfortunately, many TomTom's now *do* have a folder called "map", so in instructions we have to be careful not to use the shorthand "put it in your map folder" any more.

I tend to write "put it in the folder with the same name as your map" now, but it isn't as quick or particularly elegant prose.

When is a map folder not equal to the map folder? Laughing

Glad it's sorted.
