Use the above 'Search' window for ov2. One link is:

"Internet: As Yogi Berra would say, "Don't believe 90% of what you read, and verify the other half."
Try this
Convert the .csv file into an .ov2 file using the BATCH CONVERT feature in POI Edit – it can be found under TOOLS. If the .csv file has 4 columns [most do] then you’ll have to convert it into 3 columns for use in the TomTom, i.e., Long / Lat / Info - you can use MS Excel for this. Remember to remove all CR’s (carriage returns) if you find any; use a coma or colon to separate the info.
Copy the ov.2 file to the USA and Canada folder or the North America folder (depending on which map you have) in the TTOne.
Label the POI and any corresponding icon exactly the same so it will show up on your map as a POI when selected, e.g., WAWA.ov2 / WAWA.bmp
Hope this helps!

Use PoiEdit
Download the free program from http://www.poiedit.com/
Get the CSV file here and import as Garmin CSV and then save as TomTom OV2 format and you are done....

what jeffH70 did worked for me
yep. no batch convert needed. just save as *.ov2 and you're done.
good luck!
