Hi All,
A little help please.
I have been looking at the ‘Help Me’ screen on TT710 that shows Nearest, Car repairs, Hospital, Doctor, etc. Most are fine, however the Nearest Police Station and Nearest Pharmacy are shown in France (108 miles). As I live in Buckinghamshire, this is little use to me.
Is there a setting that I’ve missed, to get the British Police Stns and Pharmacies.

Greetings,
I'm probably not the best to listen to on this, however I think the TomTom POIs have to be listed for them to show up.
I have a TT710, and when I removed the TT police station, doctor, pharmacy POIs then, nthey weren't listed in the help.
Only have the 720 with me at the moment, have removed the TT POIs and have checked and the help DRs, police, pharmacy are all greyed out, despite me having some from the PGPRS POI files loaded.
It may also be down to what folder we have them saved in, my POIs are all in the map folder. _________________ Triumph Tbird 1700. And now a Bonnie T100.

You need to scroll down to the bottom of the page linked to by Daggers above, there are download files for specific countries to get around this issue. If you move the device North past around Birmingham it will find nearest Doctors in Northern Ireland rather than near you! the files do help but they are far from perfect - Mike
