HI GUys

Just updated to a Tomtom go 930 T

I have downlaoded the POIS, in a zip file? where shall I extract in? Shall I copy the extracted files to the western europe folder or just in the main folder?

Secondly

Where do i put the zip cameras files? Extract it on the PC ? In which folder shall I put camera files in the western europe I assumed ( or any sub folder)..

Thanks in advance.

Poi's and, if available the associated .bmp files, goes directly into the **specific** map folder, not just a folder named 'map'.

POI files need to be placed in the map folder which will be named "Western_and_Central_Europe" on your device.

The zip files don't go on the device at all, you have to extract all the files from the zip download be them camera POI files or other POI files, once you have them extracted on the PC copy the resultant BMP and OV2 files (and ogg if you want to use the spoken alert files on the device) to the map folder and set up the Warn When Near POI option - Mike

Postcodes:

Are you using the specific Postcode section of the "Navigate to" menu? If you try to enter postcodes into the "Adderess" section, then it WILL only use the first part.
The postcode data is stored in four files in a folder called "zip" on the TomTom.
Great_Britain.postal
Great_BritainPostal.ver
Nederland.postal
Nederlandpostal.ver

Connect to the PC and browse the memory of the TomTom with Windows Explorer to see if you have that folder and files.
If it (or the files inside) are missing, you can download and install new versions. Much quicker to ask here than battle with TomTom support for this sort of thing!
The files can be downloaded from HERE and I wrote up some instructions HERE

MP3s:
When you put them on the SD card, make sure you put them all in a folder called "mp3" (no quotes) just like the one on the internal memory, otherwise the TT won't see them.

Finding info:

From the normal navigation screen, tap the signal strength bars. That will take you to the route summary page where there is a small box with the software version. Tap THAT box and it takes you to a whole new page with lots more information including the map versions.

There was a recall of retailer stock on the 930 due to a postcode error so maybe an update will fix it. I can't remember the exact details but I will check when back in work tomorrow
