Merge POI (petrol) with Map (petrol)

Hi.

Have just bought a TomTom Rider with Scandinavien maps.
I use "Jet" as my petrol station, but they are not on the maps.

I have download all stations from www.jet.se, made an OV2 file, put it in the same place as the scandinavia maps. They shows up under Points of interest. So far so good.

When I am riding my motorbike there is only a few choices you can make on the screen for safety reasons.
If I want to get some petrol, it is possible to pike the petrol station icon and the Rider will show me the nearest petrol station, but never "Jet" petrol stations.

Is there a way Rider can show me a Jet petrol station (if its close) when I pike the petrol station icon?

You will need to find the Icon that corresponds to the Jet.ov2 File.

If you use Browse Map / Find / Point of Interest, then use the keyboard to input YOUR ov2 Filename. After you have made a choice it will show the location of the screen.

When you want to find a JET station again, repeat the above, but this time the JET icon should be 1 of the 5 most used Icons. If you do this several times it might even move the icon nearer to the First Position.

Long winded, but it works.;)

If I understand you correctly ("pike" is just a fish with sharp teeth in England! Laughing

), all you need to do is "enable" the Jet POI category.
Go to "Manage POI" / "Enable POI" / and scroll down the list and put a tick beside your Jet stations category.
You can also enable them on "Browse Map" / "Options" / Tick "POI" then tap the "POI" box at he bottom and scroll to your Jet stations and tick the box.

Hope this is what you needed.....

Aah, well done oldboy, that's another possibility - that he hasn't got an icon file to match the POI category.

Hi

(Sorry for the misspelling, pike should be pick)

When I am riding my motorbike there is only four choices I can make on the screen, probably for safety reasons. The choices are Home, Petrol station and two more.

It seems that it is not possible to navigate to "Jet petrol stations", only to the "petrol stations" in the scandinavian maps.

Any more suggestion?

Best Regards / Stefan

OK, lets go back a step or two... Smile

1 ) The Rider presumably already has a POI category for Petrol Stations, called "Petrol Station" or similar. Correct?

2 ) The download you got from www.jet.se is JUST the Jet stations, correct?

3 ) Once you have created your ov2 (how did you do this?), copied it to the Rider, and then enabled the Jet Stations POI category as described above, they should appear on the map if you go to "Browse Map" and search for YOUR Jet POI category, Do they?

4 ) You do realise that the Jet locations will not merge into the default TomTom petrol statiions category? When you are driving/riding, are you selecting "Jet" or whatever you called it, NOT "Petrol Stations"?

As Oldboy says, we WILL get there! Smile

Hello Andy_P2002

1) Yes

2) Yes

3) With POIEdit. Yes.

4) Yes. When riding, I can only select Petrol station. I have to stop the bike to be able to select Jet in POI.

Thanks for your answers, got it clear now.
It sounded like you were having trouble creating or enabling your new POI category, I now realise it is a specific Rider design problem.
Unfortunately I don't own one but just checked the on-line manual and found you are stick with the 4 option menu while it is in "Driving" mode....
