Yes, but only the built in sound warnings on your unit, no .ogg files (if you have them).

Somebody with a network monitor and too much time on their hands should be able to listen to the traffic between the PC and the TomTom, and figure out how to bulk load the POI files. Just saying...

Well I got a little excited. When I switched my unit on whilst connect to the PC it announced that there maybe a new map available to download!.

...but in reality nothing, no even the update that this thread talks about allowing POIs.

Oh well.

I had that a couple of weeks ago!! I connected it and NOPE nothing, it was all up to date! Rolling Eyes

I'm wondering if I can still get a new map for free, as it says if there is one available within 90 days of purchase, well it did, within 90 days but unable to download!

Just tried for interest to upload a POI group which contained about 200 campsites in Europe. Dead easy/quick. And as Andy said, despite the warning about the size of the icon my 22 x 22 files uploaded without problem. Have set an audible warning for the group. So far good. Now to try PGPSW speed/safety warnings.

We are waiting Gee-Pee Very Happy

I've been altering my settings (owt to get it to download new update) but in the tomtom home settings there is a check box under about to install beta versions when available, now I've checked this box and connected the unit and it says it's up to date but it still says its connecting..... Confused

Do we know if there is an upper limit of the number of POI items in each group that the 1000 can handle?

My POI group for sites I visit has probably got 13-15000 entries in it. Works fine with my 540 but am now thinking of updating to the 1000

I've seen no indication anywhere that the limit for a poi category for a 1x model is any less (or more) than with previous models.
