You can't easily get rid of it.
All the TomTom-supplied POIs are in a single file called poi.dat. You can delete that and have NO built-in POIs and just use your own, but there is no easy way to edit it as it is encrypted.

What you COULD do, is create a small linking file, so your own POIs get added to those in the TomTom-supplied categories.
My instructions here are lost in the depths of time, but are easy to find HERE

This works fine on v7 software, I've no reason to suspect it won't on v8, but it would be nice to have it confirmed.

And Dennis' unspoken corollary.... None of them work very well!

But TT are far too busy moving onto the next gimmick to waste time sorting them out properly. Evil or Very Mad

That's why it took them months to sort out the Help Me POIs - we were GIVEN Doctors... it's not their fault they were in Belgium.

Anyone know if we still only have one library in the UK, apart from the ones WE told them about? But it's there as another CATEGORY to boast about! Gun Shoot Out

The latest UK & ROI map (without mapshare corrections) has four libraries. Two in England and two in Guernsey. Jumping With Joy
