Some things to try
1) The POI ov2 files must be put individually into the map folder, not inside any sub-folder.
2) To view them when navigating they need to be enabled in Preferences / Manage POI / Enable/Disable POI
3) To view them in Browse Map, they need to be enabled in Browse Map / Options. Tick the "Points of Interest" box AND tick them individually in the following screen after tapping on "POI" at the bottom.
4) There is a limit of 39 extra POI categories you can add. You haven't added lots of others too, have you?
5) It is generally thought that TomTom's own camera database is rubbish, so it may just be that all the cameras you are looking for are missing!

Thanks Andy,

OK, they are all in the main map folder , no sub folder,

These are the only files I have added.

I tried managing them in the add poi but they dont show up there !

I take your point about there maps and will subscribe here I think

anything else I could have missed

Just thought... have you added the .ov2 file AND the .bmp with the same name? That is the icon picture file, without it nothing will show on-screen.

Also, you could try adding one of the UK POI files from this site HERE and see if that one works.
Try that and report back.

Now can I suggest you bite the bullet and get the ones from here instead (£2)? Smile
