| The file is within the map zip folder so it is the correct one, also the file size looks about right for a Europe POI file, copy it out of the zip file on the PC and put it in the map folder on the device - then you should have all the POI files back - Mike |

Don't bother about that. It just means that a program on your PC has an "association" with the .dat extension. Just go ahead with the copying etc. It has nothing to do with how TomTom will look at the files.

So I'm back to square one I think.
I sometimes wonder how I got involved with computers, it's getting all too much for me.
Time for tea and a wad (shows my age I'm sure) |
I can't see where you are making that association between the poi.dat file and your music.
PLEEEEZ! Do as they request and extract that file, copy it to the map/western europe folder on your unit and try it! |
