New TomTom One XL - POIs not found

I've just got a new TomTom OneXL - and for some reason it can't see any of the POIs that came with the device. I can create new POI categories ("Test"), and then get the Test.bmp/Test.ov2 files created in the maps folder. But, it won't let me see any of the POIs that came with the device - e.g. Safety_Cam_UK_TomTom.ov2 (Which also has a .dct and .ver extension, but no .bmp). I did try creating a matching .bmp, but no joy Sad

Any clues as to what might have gone wrong?

Thanks,

Greg

The speed camera POIs that come from TomTom do not behave the same as regular POIs. I don't believe you can show them on the map - they only appear when on route.

At this point most people here would point out that a more up to date and customisable list of cameras is available on this site (big icon at the top left of the screen).

As for the other POIs (airport, beach etc), go to the preferences menu and tap "show poi on map". Tick any that you wish to appear.

Hi Greg if the camera POIs are downloaded from TomTom check to see if you have a plus folder on your device(eg Great_Britain_Plus ) if you have then look in there you might find them there
