Hi guys,
With the POI database do I select the Garmin one as I am using CoPilot and that isn't listed.
When I download the POI's and unzip them, where do I then put them or more presicely, what folder do I put them in Question

I've had real problems with the speed camera database and I've had to email my folders to another member to look at as nothing seems to be working so not sure if it'll like the POI's either but i'll give it a go Wink

Where abouts on my computer should I download the ov2 files, and then, after having downloaded one, how do I install it onto my tomtom?

Have a read through/ follow the guide for the 910 which can be found Here I appreciate you have a different device but just ignore the part about "Text To Speech" as your device doesn't have this feature - the guide is accurate in all other aspects though as all TT devices use the same data and set-up methods - Mike

I have now had a go! What I was wanting to do was to add to the general POI's, so, as a test, I looked in the food and drink category, selected Les Routier, downloaded it and added it to the Western Europe folder in Tomtom.

It has installed all right, but shows as a seperate category (Routiers). I would prefer that it became integrated into the Rstaurant category.

Is there a way of doing this?

Many thanks

Unfortunately Custom POIs cannot be combined into the TT built-in POIs.
