TomTom & PGPSW POI Databases

[JonnyW]

I wonder if anybody can help me?

I'm going to buy a PDA GPS with TomTom 5.0. Now I'm no thickie when it comes to IT but, I do have a question regarding the POI databases and how they work in TomTom... becaue I'm new to it you see... :wink

From what I've read, If I:

1) Download the Speed Camera POI Database
2) Unzip it in a temporary folder
3) Copy the ov2 and bmp files into the TomTom MAPS folder on the SD Card
4) Reload TomTom and the POI's wil be present.

My questions are:

Q1) Is this the same of all POI's? Do I simply unzip the files and move the ov2 and bmp files to the TomTom MAPS folder?
Q2) Will this create new categories within TomTom with the associated map icons/graphics?
Q3) Is the categoriy name in TomTom the name of the POI file I put in the MAPS folder?

Thank you for any help!

Yes, yes, yes and yes (the extra one was for the assumption about how to unzip and load them) :D
