Hi
Just bought a tomtom one new edition regional and its working fine apart from when i try to navigate to a poi near me - if i select pharmacy for example its telling me that the nearest ones are in Dublin 200 miles away! Has anyone else had this problem? If so does anyone know how it can be fixed?

 to the forum
Just had a go at this poi, my nearest is Newry Ireland if i want some painkillers i'm going to have to travel 184 miles and catch a ferry.
Had a look at some of the others and the majority if not all are in ROI.
Only solution is to find and load your own poi's for the UK, offhand can't remember seeing any perhaps another member know's of a source. In addition report your findings to TomTom. |

| Apparently the nearest Dentist or Doctor to Bolton are also in Ireland. Bit far to go, even in an emergency I would think.... |
