Hi RWB,
to the forum!
Which TomTom GO are you using (GO, 300, 500, 700)?
Which version of the application are you using?
Application 5.2xx only allows the use of 27 user POIs.
There are some guides that should be read (in the following order):
The beginner’s guide to the PocketGPSWorld camera database.
This explains about the different camera types and about categories and subcategories, so that you can decide how you want the database on your unit.
Depending on whether you have TomTom Navigator on a Pocket PC or TomTom GO, please read either:
How to install (camera database) POIs to TomTom Navigator 5.
This guide explains how to load the PocketGPSWorld camera database onto a Pocket PC running TomTom Navigator 5.
How to install (camera database) POIs onto a TomTom GO.
This guide explains how to load the PocketGPSWorld camera database onto your TomTom GO.
The above guides may look lengthy and complicated when first seen. However if you grab a cup of coffee and read each one thoroughly then they should make sense as they have been written in a step-by-step way, for ease of reading.

Free RAm and free MB are irrelevant. The GO with version 5.2 or later software will only see 27 PoI categories, whether enabled or not. If you have exceeded this limit some of the speed categories will not show. _________________ TTGO 700 (dead)

The list of files you need are shown here - http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=151199
Did you copy the files, or the Folders with the files? Only files must be copied. TT can only see the files in the Map Folder.
How many added POI categories do you have? There is a limit of 27. _________________ Richard

You have got the PoIs enabled in Prefs/Manage PoI/Enable Disable POI? _________________ TTGO 700 (dead)

There's your problem!
The ov2 and bmp files must go INDIVIDUALLY in the Great_Britain-map folder, not inside any other sub-folder.
Try moving them out of your "ov2bmpfiles" folder and all should be well. |
