I have been able to load poi from pocketgpsworld only the ov2 file and no bmp so the icon is blank
They show up in my places
If you have the "Argos" database just click on this and it lists all the argos by closet first

Works but not perfect

The link above, although correct when you get on that page eventually, doesn't work apparently something to do with their BB software set up!

Method to get to info on 3rd Party POI's

1. Click on the link above
2. Click on icon with the ? (Top right of page)
3. Under Select Category - Customise device
4. Category - How can I install or remove 3rd party POI's

Then follow the guidance for whichever you have!

And then be hugely disappointed that the speed camerasd don't work the way you might expect them to. Confused

I'm sorry, I have no solution to offer. Maybe a new SD card might reinvigorate it? My 520 is running on internal well enough - it is a refurbished one which I got from the TomTom store years ago. I work it hard enough, but alongside a built in Renault R-Link TomTom and a 6100. If it had HD Live Traffic it would beat both of them hands down.

Considering a Go5100 to replace the XL2 IQ I have. Having looked through a lot of information provided by TomTom the main issue is about POIs.

I've read through this thread and it seems to me that it may be possible to import POIs but the new device will not recognise the corresponding pictorial file.

Perhaps somebody will be good enough to clarify this point for me and if my understanding is correct also explain whether there's any way around the problem.

Having accumulated a lot of POIs over time this really is a deal-breaker.

Thanks.

As for as I am aware, there is no way around the pictorial issue.

You may load a POI set onto your new TT and you may navigate to any of the POIs but there can be no proximity warnings (as you are used to for the camera alerts).

Thanks AliOnHols. I fail to understand TomTom's thinking. Surely there are many people who accumulate POIs and need to retain that information without losing any detail. Similarly, proximity warnings are rather helpful too.

Certainly it means that what TomTom's offering now isn't an "upgrade".

Looks as though I shall be sticking with what I have!
