Hi all

I've just got my TomTom one - and have got a coupel of POI files from a mate. How or what do i do with them? - he said to copy them over to the map file, (along with teh .bmp file,) but i cant find a map file on the tomtom? Does he mean the "United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland" Folder. This has POI.dat file in it.??

yes. And he probably said "map folder", not "map file".

Supplementary question.

If I just want the McDonalds POIs added to my TT5 do I just copy the POI downloads unzipped .bmp and ov2 files into my GB map folder ? I assume TT sees them when I next power on ?

Yes, that is all that is required, although you could consider adding a POI warning to the category, go to Change preferences/ Manage POI/ Warn When Near POI scroll through the list until you find the stated POI and select it, next assign a suitable sound - Mike

Do they have a "trapped wind" sound ..........?

Thanks Mike
