Extract the files straight to the desktop of your PC then use Double click the resultant folder to open it that is on your desktop.
All the POI files (ov2 and bmp) will now be listed, select them all right click and select "Copy" now go to the drive letter assocciated with your TomTom and open that, locate the map folder "Great_Britain_&_ROI" or similar, right click on the map folder and select "Paste" from the popup - Mike
