Firstly did/ have you got a GPS position fix when trying to use the POICapture? - if so which version of TomTom software have you got installed on your 910? - tap the sat strength meter lower right and the next screen will show the version number part way down on the right of the screen - Mike

I have exactly the same problem on my Go 910. When I want to add camera it says: Failed to add POI.

OK, My problem is solved. My TomTom Go 910: Version 6.525, GPS v. 1.21, Boot 4.86.

1. I downloaded Quick GPS fix.
2. I checked - and I had in My Western and Central Europe (v.660.1219) catalogue 128 *.ov2 files.
It should not be OVER 100.!!!
When I removed some of them to the number - 82 *.ov2 files - POICapture version 1.06G (Many Thankx to The Author) started to save cameras.!

So main solution was - not to overfill root catalogue (over 100) with *.ov2 files.

I was able to solve this problem thank: mikealder - TomTom Faq.,

I must learn how to place exact link where I have read about it , and how to quote.

Thank you very much, I will try to do it.

I have another questions about POICapture.

1. First time when I opened it - I saw "Preferences" and "Start over" in it's menu. Now it has gone. It is possible to have it back?

2.When POICapture captures new cameras (places I add), everything is fine but eg. when I tap 30 mph speed sign in the menu, later when I am driving, it shows only camera icon on the map without this 30 mph speed limit warning on the icon.
Is it possible to see also actual speed limit on the icon - I was thinking this feature (when I am choosing different speed icons before it is stored) was done for this purpose. Am I right?

Regards

It will still be in your menu, to locate it tap a camera sype and select a speed , on the last page should be "This Side" "Other Side" "Reversible" you will find Preferences and Start Over on the same page.
The speed information you enter via POICapture is stored within the POI File, ALL cameras captured by the utility will have the same icon - Mike
