TomTom talk

Hello,
Does anyone feel TomTom is going to fix the app allowing us to add our content (POI's) again?
I wrote to customer service and they said they are aware of the problem, but; they don't seem to eager to correct the problem. Hoping a new update arrives with the new map around the end of August beginning of September.
What do you think?

See https://www.autoevolution.com/news/tomtom-releases-new-map-u...

When I look at the TomTom related content, I see the latest until I posted this content is almost two years old. I'm reminded of the lyrics from "1776" in which John Adams said Is anybody there? Does anybody care?

TomTom has just changed the software making it impossible to install any user content. Anyone have any ideas?

For years I noticed, tom tom official poi were faster to load than any from any site
especially McD and Tims, those files are very large

"Official" poi files are sorted and indexed "skip this next X entries none of them are close to you"
instead of searching 15000 McD search 100 groups

Somebody else noticed and had the know-how to do something about it

Can you put poi icons on TOMTOM like you can Garmin ?
I installed some poi's on my old TomTom, but icons dont show up.
Thanks

We just picked up a new 2020 Outback, and I wanted to know if it is possible to put POI/speed camera files into the in-dash TomTom nav unit? A lot of what I'm seeing seems to indicate that this can't be done, that the dealer has total control over updates and such. Does anyone here know if this is truly the case?

Thanks,

I have a Go Premium X and wonder how often they update the US mapping on the unit? This has world mapping. The Europe one has been updated recently; is the frequency the same for other maps. Thanks.

Tonight I went over to Walmart to get some grocery items. I was surprised to see a "TomTom Car" parked in the lot. Yep, all fitted out with the tripod on top with the scanning camera, dual GPS antennas and TomTom emblazoned on the sides. Did not know that they were taking pictures of highways. I guess they need pictures for the signage info for lane advisements, etc.

I have a 2019 Subaru Outback. It looks to be using a Clarion radio with TomTom navigation inside.

I'm coming from a long Garmin background and I find the TomTom navigation really lacking.

What I'm trying to figure out is if it really is lacking or it's just that I'm new to TomTom and really familiar with Garmin and that I just need to spend more time with it.

I am beginning to suspect that the base map in our 2019 Subaru Forester is obsolete. The base map is labeled "North America 2017.03". An update was released on April 4, 2019, but it does not seem to have made the base map current.

We recently took an extended road trip. Too many roads were "missing". We also took along our Garmin Nuvi 650 and it did better.

[I posted the below earlier on another thread as a comment, but decided on second thought that I probably should have asked as a separate post. Apologies if anyone is reading this twice.]

Hi Everybody!

I just bought a new TomTom Start 52. I can't figure out how to enable an audio warning when I get near red light cameras or to display them on the map while driving.

See https://www.tomtom.com/en_us/updates/

This is a replacement for a TomTom VIA 1605, which was my 3rd TomTom unit. I've used TomTom's on many trips and relay like them. The GO 620 has features I really like, WiFi connectivity, voice recognition and the interface to use my phone hands-free. I like the display and it seems to respond quicker then the 1605, giving a more accurate real time representation of travel.

Do the newer TomTom models still allow POI's to be uploaded to them from a PC?

Does anybody use a TomTom on this site?

I just picked one up and find its one of the best option out there. I love the option where it syncs to my pc or phone automatically. Has anyone used the the thrill route option on it?

Does the *bmp icon file need to have the same name format as the *ov2 file. i.e will the shell.bmp pop up on the screen for a POI in the shellcanada.ov2 file or does the file look for a `shellcanada.bmp` etc etc

Hi,

The Dollar Tree csv file seems to be incomplete.

It does not have city, state, zip, phone number.

Would be great if someone can share some information about the availability of same.

Regards
