Add to existing POI's?

[Pedro-G]

(I realize this is a pretty basic question, I did search for some time but couldn't find an answer.)

I would like to add POI's to the existing POI categories. For example the gas stations in my country are OK in the TTN5 POI categories, however some stations are missing. I don't want to start another POI category for those stations that I have added personally, since then I would have to make two separate queries whenever I want to find a gas station.

It's clear that editing the existing (built-in) POI categories is impossible withing the TTN5 software, but is there a 3rd party utility or something that makes it possible? I would be ready to for example rip (extract) the POI's from the built-in gas station category and use it as a basis for a new category of my own. In that case I would have all the stations in one category, and I'd be able to add new stations whenever.

Or whatever else solution works, I'm not afraid of "hacking" a little bit, although I do draw a line at a binary editor . If there is a thread or a how-to on this subject, please show me the link.

We know how to do what you are asking for, but since we have all read the fine print in the TomTom license contract the official answer has to be: Sorry, cannot be done.

One interesting question - what happens if you use a custom OV2 file that has the same name as a built in category? Which one takes precedence?

Ok, thank you for pointing out the license violation. Me must no do it.

On a totally different note: How would it be done, were it not forbidden in the license contract? Just theoretically speaking....?
