Sad Hi,

I have a TomTom Go 300 with V5.201. I have also recently bought a 512Mb card with Speed cameras and major routes of Europe - installed and working fine

I've downloaded some POIs, followed instructions to copy them from PC to SD card - the Great-Britain-Map folder. I can see them on the PC as the TomTom GO (FSmile drive (interestingly XP sees it properly rather than as a removable drive??) but the TT Go, when I go to enable/disable POIs can't see them nor can I navigate to them - in the same folder I can see the .BMP and .OV2 files for the POIs TT Go can see. Where am I going wrong?

thanks
David

Sad Hi, I've tried this on my original card and all works fine - PC sees the new POI and so does the TomTom - is it the way the new card has been set up or do I need to notify some database of POIs to update itself??

help!!!

There is a limit to how many POI categories that TT can handle. Using V5.201 the limit is 27. Previously it was 40.

Although you can load as many as you like to the SD card, it will only see 27.

When connected to the PC count how many .ov2 files are in the Map Folder.
