Greetings All,
Need a little help. I have downloaded several groups of POIs, DinersDrive-ins&Dives for example, in the proper OV2 format for my TomTom. I then move it over to my GPS, it shows that it is there, space is being taken but when I try to open that category, it says no POI found? My guess is operator error but I am apparently not smart enough to figure it out. I guess I don't know what I don't know.
This?
As a Garmin user, I have no TT experience. Did you find this faq and follow the instructions provided there?

There was also something about the OV2 files from here not working. The creation program Poi factory uses is messing up. Last I heard JM is working on that.

I found that if you take the OV2 files from here and load them into EPE and then resave them as a save as you also will fix them to work properly on the TomTom.

Skipper records
VersatileGuy was very helpful and did some research for us on the skipper record issue.
I've made some programming adjustments that should fix the issue of showing POI icons en route and the proximity warnings for TomTom users.
There may still be some issues with very large files, but for most files I think this change will solve these issues.
Thanks VersatileGuy!
