hiya, in tomtom 5 there used to be a button that says hide poi and increases speed of the display when moving, however i cant find this in tomtom6 does any 1 know some sort of hack to get rid of them from the maps

ps the option in tomtom 5 didnt disable pois it just got rid of them off the map so you could still set sound warnings etc..

thanks in advance

jamiem1987, I feel your pain... Crying or Very sad

Yes, Tomtom 6 is slow and jerky, and the 'hide POI' solution has inexplicably been removed. At best the screen refreshes only 1 or 2 times per second on a Tungsten T3 (which has a fast processor and used to manage Tomtom 5 quite happily). Overclocking does not help, nor does disabling (or completetly deleting) POIs.

Maybe the 'hide POI' feature was removed "at the request of customers..." Rolling Eyes

I've been using TTNAV 6 on an HX4700 with WM2005 and it runs fine as long as you don't have too many POIs enabled. If you have the HX4700 and WM2005 worth checking you have the latest firmware 2.01 which improves performance significantly.

I tried enabling about 15/20 POI's and the drop in performance was dramatic to say the least, it was unusable, the map seemed to be updating every 5 secs or longer. I'm now down to about 5 or 6 POIs and it's fine, any others I want to see I've set for POI Warnings rather than enabling them.
