Hi all, Im new to this forum, and happy to have came across it :D
This question will probabily seem silly to most of you, but I would like a bit clarification to a point I read on another site about the TT Go 700.
I am at present learning about how to load the POI's to the internal hard drive, and I read that you are limited to the number of POI files that you can add to 29. If this is so, it makes buying the TT Go 700 a bit of a waste. Embarassed especially as the Speed Cams can take a few differnt files.
Can some one with more experience please advise

The newest program version 5.420 will again allow for 39 POI categories.

Thanks for your advice lbendlin.
When I bought the unit I had no experience of Tom Tom's before (a bit on Garmin) and to come across a post that claimed a 29 catagory limit was a unexpected shock l 8O .
Well at least, while your post confirmed a limit it also gave hope at the end Smile as I have ver 5.420 installed, the first thing I checked for , any OS updates. Thanks again
PS were do you find out the changes / improvements to each OS update
Question

TT are often a little short on information on what they have included in each upgrade.

Thanks Oldboy, I started to think I must be going daft, while I looked and looked I could not find any list of specific version changes Confused . Still as I mentioned TT is new to me and hopefully I will pick up the points quickly. Still a bit upset that there is a limit to the number of user POI's 8O but I'll get over it Laughing Thanks

Thousands. It's the number of categories which is important, not the number of POI's.

there are less POIs than say a streetpilot, but I think predictive text for enterting destinations is easier with the tt 700...wouldn't you agree?
