How to get all my POI's working PLEASE

MrsNeato

Please forgive a newbie if this is covered elsewhere.
The back ground info : Have just got a TomTom classic with a 512MB card and ver 5.1 installed. Spent an afternoon downloading a load of POI's from B&Q to hobbycraft!! inc the safety cameras and petrol stations.
The problem is when I turn it back on only about 40 are listed. Does that mean I have to choose my favourite 40 or is there a way to combine or select various ones as and when. Question

Any help or links greatley appreciated

Thanks

you can only have 40 custom categories. Try combining POIs from different categories into single files. Instead of "italian restaurants" and "greek restaurants" make a group "italian and greek restaurants" etc.

There is also a "Batch Convert" somewhere in POIEdit menus that allows you to convert/merge different ov2 files in one.

You could also use POIConverter.

Thanks for all the advice on this subject. During one of my experiments!! found a program called Ov2tools and I am now well on the way to getting everything working.

Happy days :D
