Yes, I downloaded them from TomTom website, and installed them using TomTom HOME, but I can't see them in the map folder, should they be visible, as OV2 files, the only OV2 files I can see is the safty camera files, so I wondered, has it transfered them?

Yes Tanda they should be visible in Windows Explorer (they WON'T in Home).
Here's mine:

So it looks like you haven't installed them.

the ov2 is an encrypted POI file (like the TT camera files POI Edit cannot open it), and the inf file is a short text file that tells the Go which built-in category to "attach" them to.
You won't see them as seperate POI categories on the Go either, but there are plenty of entries, so you sould see loads near you.

Not sure what's gone wrong, try d.loading and installing again?

Been messing with the TomTom, and the POi's won't transfer accross to the TomTom, even downloaded/installed the Free England colour scheme, that transfers ok, and works, but the POi's won't, so had a read of the 1st page of this thread, and transfered them manually, and it all works now, thanks for everyone's help.

Andy those folders you mention are the same as the ones you advised me to extract so I have the same folders as your list so where do I put them on my tomtom one v2??
I will drag and drop them but to what file?
Thanks
pete

Your map folder, the same place as the speed camera files from here (If you use the sites database).

Have you tried the same solution?

If you can't get it to work, tell us exactly what goes wrong.

First Aid and other "Help me" files haven't been released for download by TomTom. No one knows why. Complain to them (although they will just sent one of their usual "stock" answers telling you that they aren't available (which you knew already), without telling you why.
