Have you tried Google?
Try "scrapyard poi uk" and the first should be an Italian site.
http://poi.prezzibenzina.it/categorie/Car%20Breakers%20%2526%20Dismantlers/
Download from the above - save yourself a fiver.
But use Google next time or something similar........ it takes but a couple of minutes.

Tutton,
You are correct - the site is italian.................however, the download is not.
Trust me.........all you have to lose is a few clicks and a few minutes.
Regards

There should be 2 files; one with an extension of .OV2 and another .BMP
These files should both be placed in the map folder e.g Western Europe, Western_Europe-Map, Great_Britain-Map etc - it just depends on which version of software you are running. Use Windows Explorer to find the name of the folder and put the 2 files in there.
Then you should be able to find your scrapyards - don't forget to set the "warn when near poi" in preferences. _________________ RQ

Either make your own - any .bmp picture resized to 22x22 pixels will work.
Or use one of the built in ones? You may have to create the category name on the TomTom itself first to be able to assign one. |
