As a newby to this site can any body tell me how to change or edit the original poi on the tomtom go 300 updated to ver 5.420. One of the Poi listed as SHOP only has Partco I would like to add to this file & remove the useless Partco Autoparts which it seems to be full of any help or pointers will be appreciated. |

It's the poi.dat file that he is trying to edit. The ov2 files are complied together to make up the poi.dat and the icons appear to be written into the code.
I am no programmer by any stretch of the imagination, here's where I sourced the info http://www.licour.com/
