I want to load a list of addresses(c.700) into my tomtom one xl europe and haven't a clue. Any help would be appreciated. :D

This should get you started.

Have a read and then come back with any specific problems that you might have.

It really depends how long your list is!
The method linked to above is great for long lists, but is overkill if all you have is up to say 10 or 20 addresses.

For short lists just do it on the TomTom itself by:
Tap screen / Change preferences / Forward arrow / Manage POI / Add new POI category.
Name it anything you like and give it a marker icon from the list.
That's it! You've created an ov2 file!

Admittedly it hasn't got any addresses in it yet, but to do that, just:
Tap screen / Change preferences / Forward arrow / Manage POI / Add new POI. Choose your new category from the list, and add your entries from any of the normal choices (from Favourite, from Address, from co-ordinates, point on map, from another POI etc.)
