Can't get all my POI's on TomTom go 720

I've downloaded all the POI's from this website and have put them into the the map folder on my tomtom, but when I go to navigate to a POI it only shows up to about F of all the POI's have I put too many on?

Help much appreciated.

Each TomTom version has a limit on the number of POIs that can be installed. IIRC, for v7 devices it's up around 200 individual POI Categories (this does not include the pre-installed POIs) and MapShare corrections count in this total.

How many POIs have you installed?

1200 locations or 1200 POI files? A POI file is the group such as 'Tesco_Stores.ov2'

As i said, you are limited to approx 200 individual POI Files, each one may have many hundreds of locations contained within but regardless, the limit on the number of files is hard coded and cannot be changed.

Well the answer is you are over your limit I'm afraid. Why would you need 600 POI groups?

If the POIs are similar in nature there are methods to combine them into one larger POI i.e. if you have 10 supermarket POIs such as Tesco, Asds, Sainsbury's etc then you could combine them into one 'Supermarkets POI' group and reduce the number of individual POIs?
