Silly q - i have just downloaded the tomtom poi's for esporta gyms to my computer. I have connected my tomtom 930 to my laptop - how do i get it to recognise the esporta poi's?

Connect your TT 930 to the computer. Using WinExplorer, copy the esporta gyms .ov2 file from your computer into the TT's folder which contains your map files (UK & ROI / Western&Central Europe / North America / etc.) : Disconnect the TT, fire it up and check that the gym POIs are there by checking them in the "Manage POIs option in the "Change Preferences" menu.

EDIT - Just noticed the title to this post- Just How new is your TT? Have you made a WinExplorer Back-up yet? If not, do one now before you do any thing else to your TT.

EDIT, EDIT - Crikey, Note to self. Must learn to read!. Your gym POIs are from TT so the above instructions may not apply. Sorry, I do not know how to do this with TT Home, someone will be along soon who does. BUT please, do still make a WinExplorer back-up first.

To add to Ali's instructions...
If the POIs you downloaded were NOT from TomTom Home, then you follow Ali's instructions to copy the .ov2 file to your named map folder, but you ALSO need to copy the .bmp file with the same name (that's the icon you see on-screen).

If they WERE from TomTom Home, then you use Home to add them to the Go, using "Add Traffic,voices etc.". If the Go was connected to the PC when you downloaded the POPI file it would get copied to the Go automatically.
