POI files on TomTom Via 1530TM

 
Mon, 08/15/2011 - 9:33am

Using My TomTom, I installed several POI files. The titles (e.g. Target, Costco) show up in my list of POI categories, but when I select one of these newly installed categories, the message No POI Found appears. Do I have to do anything else to get these to work?

I don't know about Via 1530TM but on a pre navcore 10 TomTom the only files required are a .ov2 and a .bmp files placed in your map folder.

Works on my GO 720

I just tried the Target ov2 file from

http://www.poi-factory.com/node/3537

and it seems to work for me. I can see the various POIs under "Target Stores" and select one as my destination.

However, there are some known quirks with the ov2 files here; see the thread at...

http://www.poi-factory.com/node/33837

for details. Perhaps you could try opening and re-saving the ov2 file using Extra_POI_Editor (EPE)

to see if that helps.

OV2 problems with Via

I am having the same problem. I have sort of a fix.... download poi-convertor
go to tomtom in options
choose description as "use for name"

nothing in the "blank name prefix"

name truckation
none {128}

you get the poi in a list but it gives you the poi number not the address..... going to keep working on it and see if i can get it to work completely. hope this helps!!
