|

How can I change the title for a POI category on my TomTom Go 910. There are a few that I would like to edit, for example, how can I change 'b&q' to 'B&Q'?
Thanks in advance

Is this in a Custome POI?
If so, you can change it on the PC to 'B & Q'. You will also have to change the name of the bitmap. ;) _________________ Richard

It is already named (the file) as B&Q but it still shows as b & q in the POI list on my TomTom.

I think it's an interesting little bug in the TT software (says it all really - how can anyone find a software bug "interesting"?!!). if you change the name of the .ov2 file to B.&Q..ov2 the POI category is displayed almost correctly (B.&Q.). For some reason the software doesn't like single letters on their own, and converts them to lower case.
I notice also that the file BMW.ov2 get displayed in the TT as Bmw, but can be corrected by calling it B.M.W.ov2
I'm afraid this is a case of "like it or lump it"! Remember that if you do change the name of the .ov2 file, then if you decide to update the category in the future, the new download won't overwrite the old one! |
