Unzip the download and copy/ paste the ov2 and bmp files to your map folder (assuming you are using a TomTom that is) - Mike |

Are you using a mac or a PC? the Stufit application is only for use with Macs, assuming you are PC based what OS are you using Vista, XP or something else? - Mike |

Right-click the downloaded .zip file and select 'Extract All' from the pop-up menu. _________________ Darren Griffin |

In which case you have a corrupted download, you will need to retry, how many POI files did you try to download the first time around? _________________ Darren Griffin |

You can install only the ones you want. Just make sure you have an OV2 and a BMP file for each category you want to use. |
