PI's for tomtom's ?

[nudda]

I used to own a Garmin i3 and one of the guys in the Garmin forums made a very extensive and useful list of POI's that could be added onto the i3. I am wondering if there is a similar list (for the UK) for the tomtom ? I couldnt find it

Have a look HERE scroll to the bottom for the UK POI for TomTom, please be aware there is a limit of 39 custom warnings in TTN5 so don't simply add everything of some won't show up leading to confusion - Mike

EXcellent thanks Mike. I dont think Ill have a problem installing them onto my 910 as theres plenty of room for them (?)

Also, how do I actually install these. I finally worked out how to add it to the i3 but now I need to learn how to do it for this

Last but not least, I hear everyone about them updating their tomtoms to 6.14 ... Ive plugged mine in and hooked it up to tomtom home but cant update. Can you enlighten me on how to update ?

Once I know, hopefully I will be able to help someone out in the future

Thanks again !

With the 910 there is still a limit, but its around 100 IIRC, you might find the icons only show up in black and white on the 910, this is due to colour depth, you can alter this using paintshop or similar - if you need more info give me a shout, its not too difficult.

As for loading and configuring the POI's have a read of my Camera installation guide for the 910HERE the same principles apply for loading any POI to the 910.

For an update make sure the PC is connected to the internet, dock the 910 and power it up, when asked to "Connect to Computer" press Yes.
When the Home application starts it should look for an update and download it automaticaly, if it isn't doing this go to the top left of the Home screen where you will find a Blue box containing a spanner icon, click this and make sure the checkbox labeled "Check for updated content when I am logged in and my TomTom device is connected to the computer".

To check what version you are using on the 910 simply tap the sat strength meter (lower Right of the main screen) and the version number will be displayed - Although I am not too sure the vs6,14 is what you want, I think that is intended for the older Go devices, having just checked the TomTom site the latest would appear to be 6,11 for the 910, there is some additional information HERE hope that helps - Mike
