Instructions for copying from Windows or Mac can be found on TomTom's web site:

Here's a quick summary:

1) Connect the TomTom GPS to your Computer
2) Open the TomTom drive letter under Devices with Removable Storage
3) Locate your maps folder on the TomTom (called "usa_and_canada" or "north_america")
4) Copy the OV2 files into your TomTom's maps folder

Note: Most files from POI Factory need to be converted to OV2 format before they are copied to your TomTom.
