 I have downloaded to my desktop poi's for campsites but unsure how to add them to my TT. there are 2 files, 1 TTov2 file & 1 BMP file do I copy each & past them direct into the TT internal(G) drive on "My computer"
or open the int G drive & past each file into the tt "maps" folder OR The "POI"folder
tank you for any advice

| The TomTom will have a folder named "Western_Europe" you need to add the ov2 and bmp files to the Western_Europe map folder for the device to use the POI files - Mike |

Do you have a folder called Western_Europe? Not Maps or any folder with a file in it called Western_Europe but a folder called Western_Europe.
If so copy the files there as per MikeAs previous reply. |
