I’ve just purchased a TT One and I’ve started to get addicted to POIs! Are there any websites which offer a larger selection and ones which are frequently updated (been through the ones here – great!).

Also, I read theres a limit of 39 ‘categories’ – I take it a category is ‘Cinema’ or ‘Burger King’ etc? Does the limit include the pre-installed ones? And above the limit, do new ones just not show up? Many thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
Here are a few websites...

http://www.tomtomfree.com

http://poiplace.oabsoftware.nl/

http://www.poihandler.com/overview.asp

http://www.alertegps.com/Download.asp?a=ar&s=&f=tomtom

39 categories does NOT include all the pre-installed ones.
If you add more than 39, SOME (not neccessarily the last added) will just not show up on the list.

Also for your info, there is a way to completely replace the built-in POIs, unfortunately you aren't allowed to edit them because of copyright limitations. Details are in the POI section of the MyTomTomGo forum here

Thanks - great stuff! I downloaded some from POIPlace, but those ones only show the distance and not the road name ect in the navigate section - any ideas? Also, I'm guessing theres no way of seeing more of the road names in the other POIs?

If you mean that you can't see the full description on the selection screen...

HOLD your finger on the one you want to see, and the display should change to a smaller font and show you more. If you don't want to select that one, slide your finger to the edge of the screen before you lift it off.
