Dear All,

I've been searching through the forum & can't seem to find the answer to what I presume to be a simple question!

I've downloaded the POIs I want from this site, I've unzipped them, then copied them to the "GB_plus_major_roads_of_WE" folder which contains the maps on my Nokia e61.
I've then followed your instructions to enable them, but just can't find them anywhere to add!

Where are they?

The only thing I have noticed is that there are no .bmp files associated with them, & their file type seems to be "unknown" rather than .og2 which all the other POIs in that folder have!

I'm running 66 POIs so it shouldn't be aproblem of too many?

Any ideas?

Cheers

Jim

AFAIK, file type is .OV2 - have you downloaded the correct ones?

Corrupted download?
A proper download will definitely un-zip to qwerty.ov2 and qwerty.bmp files.

Try downloading again and try the "make link" option too.
Don't bother copying to the TomTom until you've got a download that looks right.
