How to install new red light updates for Tom Tom

I have seen numerous times on my travels here in the lower mainland of BC that out of 75 red lights cameras or more that are installed, I maybe have 20% of them show up on my TomTom 630 .. How can I update and save new information up to November 2010???
I find the area here on the POI Factory but are these updates/ or just the icons?avatars only???

Auto on and off... Newbie XXL 540 TM

Is there a way to make this GPS turn on when you turn on the ignition and off when you turn the ignition off?

Seem like a pretty standard GPS function but haven't been able to locate it?

Adding POI's to TomTom Go 2505

Hey, does anyone know if you can add custom POI's to the new TomTom Go 2505?

I currently have a Go 720 and am able to use POI Edit 2007 to create my POI's and then add them to my GPS unit.

I am looking to update my Go 720 to the new Go 2505 and have read in some reviews that you aren't able to add POI's, Voices, etc. Does anyone know if this is true or not? If so, why?

Google Maps/Mapquest not Supported

I can't figure out why most Tomtom GPS units won't interface with Mapquest or Google Maps.

How hard would it be for Tomtom? I called their support line today and was told that only 2 of their product lines, one being the Go series, interfaced.

Downloading/Installing Lifetime Map Update

I just ran into a problem today. When TomTom Home came up, it had a new map update for my XXL-540TM. So, I ran through the update procedure. When it was finished, I tried to operate the device and got the error message that the map downloaded was not compatible with my device. I called TomTom Support to see what may have happened.

sorry new subject dash mounting

for all you tomtom xxl owners . how many have the dash mount and what do you use ?
i have universal bean bag but the part you attach to the back of the unit seems to be about an inch to short to bend to 90 deg. any workarounds for this still using the bean bag type mount ?

Owning/Registering Multiple TomTom GPS

I own a TomTom One 130 S. I love it. It's works well and is a great value. I was thinking of purchasing another TomTom GPSr for my brother. I've done some research and really like the TomTom XL 340 TM (not the LIVE version).

If I purchase a previously-owned TomTom via eBay, and the previous owner has already registered the unit, will:

Brand New and sort of stuck

Okay, I'm all new to GPS, got a Tomtom XXL550T. My wife and I live full time in a motorhome. I'm not sure I have this correct or not. I think I downloaded a low clearance alert POI, and Walmart and Cracker Barrel POIs. It in the POI management menu on the TT it seems they are all together. I guess I just want to make sure I'm downloading it correctly.

tomtom model to replace garmins

I've been playing with the tomtom go 2505 and i think it's good enough to dump my garmins.

newbie OV2 trouble and a solution

I use the old PDA/smart phone software Navigator 6. I have used custom POI files before, but I am new to POI Factory files.

I downloaded a couple and tried them out. In TomTom, I could see the files in the list and if I used the Find feature the items showed up, but I had trouble seeing them in the map. They didn't show up at all, not a red box, not an icon -- nothing.

New TOMTOM In Dash Unit

Sony is coming out with two new units that fit in the dash. One has a 7 inch touch screen and the other has a 6.1 inch screen for a slightly smaller price.

Go here for some more info.

Questions about XXL 540 M

I'm a TomTom guy who just found out the hard way that the unites sometimes don't react well to being dropped. Anyway I may be in the market for a new unit and I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this unit. 2 features of my current unit that I really want on a new unit are Itinerary planning and the ability to set warnings prior to reaching points of interest.

POI icons missing

I have a TomTom One 130. I have downloaded several POI files in the .ov2 format and loaded them onto my TomTom in the appropriate map folder. When I have the POI category selected in the show POI screen, I do not see the POI icons on the map screen. If I search for the POI, it is found and the icon appears, but when I search for something else, the icon for the previously found POI is gone again.

map software

I need some help from some of you TomTom guys. A friend just bought one and I'm a Garmin guy so I can't give him much help. Does TomTom have any mapping software like MapSource for Garmin. Also how does he load POIs from the poi-factory.

Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

Categorizing Favorites on TomTom

Having had my TomTom for only a few days, I found very quickly that either I am missing something or there is no way to categorize Favorites on the TomTom. I guess I have gotten "spoiled" from my Garmins capability to categorize the Favorites in such a way that I don't have to search all favorites to find one. As I said, I haven't figured out a way - yet - to categorize the Favorites.

Installing POI's on TomTom

I just picked up a TomTom XXL540TM. Thought I would check out how TomToms work, as compared to Garmins. I have been accessing and installing POI's on my Garmin for quite a time, including the Red light camera's. I use the POIloader for that. My question is, can I basically do the same with the TomTom? I currently place poiloader.exe, sox.exe and the various POI's in the same folder.
