Installing POI's on TomTom

I just picked up a TomTom XXL540TM. Thought I would check out how TomToms work, as compared to Garmins. I have been accessing and installing POI's on my Garmin for quite a time, including the Red light camera's. I use the POIloader for that. My question is, can I basically do the same with the TomTom? I currently place poiloader.exe, sox.exe and the various POI's in the same folder. In browsing over TT related news, I note they refer to a sound file with the .ogg extension. I haven't run up on any of those files - so far. Are there different instructions for installing POI's on TomToms than the Garmin? Any info on this topic would be appreciated. Thanks.

In my experience, it is easier to add POIs to TomToms then to Garmins.

Getting Easier

After a lot of working with the POI's and TomTom, I'm getting better at it
