| hi, can anyone tell me if i can purchase explorer or os maps of GB that i can upload on to the ttg 300 i know i will need to purchase a larger sd memory card . i would appreciate any help or advice thank you . ps i have also noticed that you can buy a cd of ebay with poi and a section which as 50 walks of berkshire and others so i believe you must be able to get them for your own region ie 50 walks in lancashire . thanks in advance for any help |

For each POI category you paste the .ov2 file and it's 'same-name' .bmp file.

| In answer to your first question: No there is no way to put any other type of map onto your Go. Only the TomTom supplied maps will be in the right format. They should be updated around once a year, but you will have to pay for them |
