If you have more than 39 poi categories, anymore will not show. _________________ TomTom Go 910 (3) v.6.522 Map Western Europe v.650 with useless TMC receiver

Two thoughts...
1) try loading another POI file from that or another site and see if that one works
2) Post the link for the low bridges file, so someone else can try installing it. |

this is the message it was taken from............................................... Just click on my link at the bottom of this post, FREE low bridges poi's on the POI Page.
They install the same as any other poi, copy the .ov2 file((s) depending on your chosen choice) to the Great Britain map folder on your storage card along with the .bmp file((s) as above remark).
Then just select them in TT and away you go.

Having just downloaded this low bridges POI from amngps4 site I have arrived at these conclusions.
-To install the individual height files you need to use up 31 POI categories, if like myself you have all speed cams on you have no chance of fitting these on as TTG will only take 39 downloaded POI's I recall. I got 9 ft upto 11 ft 6 in showing and nothing upward of that.
-I could not get any to show if you load in the wav sound files, which I do not think are compatible with TTG. So only load on the bitmap and ov2 files.
-Of course the "all bridges" file just shows a bridge and no height and this only takes up one POI category. Good enough for me! |
