Am I able to use .ov2 files on my TomTom GO 730?

Map Edition 890 was released this AM.

TT Home 2.8.4.2596 is now the current version for Windows and 2.8.4.1348 is the current version for Mac.

I'm trying to convert my garmin files to ov2. Using poiedit, the garmin files appear in windows 7 as microsoft excel files. They open after selecting the suggested format (can't remember which). When I try to save as I keep getting an error windows saying the format does not match even though I have selected tomtom ov2 format. Any help greatly appreciated.

I made an itenary in Tyre for a trip to Pigeon Forge, TN.
I saved it in my POI folder. I am having trouble uploading it to my device. I followed the directions as stated here:

What am I missing?
Thank You.

Yay!

I finally solved the issue I was having with POI icons on my TomTom 2325M. It turned out that, instead of uploading the images into the "POI" section of my TomTom interface (Add Community Content), I was uploading the images into the "Images" section. After doing a lot of searching, I finally found this post on the TomTom Support Forum that solved my issue:

I have a Tom Tom Eclipse (in dash unit). It has an SD card slot. What can I store on this card besides alternate maps? When I put an SD card in the slot and connected it to my computer, the SD card appeared in the computers directory. Just to test what it can do I copied a pdf file to the card. My Tom Tom can read documents.

I have a TomTom XXL and am planning a trip for when the kids are on spring break. I am not sure how many stops/waypoints I want to add yet. Just wondering what the max is. I didn't see anything in the manuel.

I have a Mac running OSX 10.7.3, and want to create my own holiday route around Europe via several places hopefully using the excellent route finder from www.viamichelin.com. I have seen that there is a facility to save the route for a TomTom as a file, which I have done, but when I load it onto the TomTom map folder nothing seems to happen under the POIs. What am I doing wrong?

About a year ago, installing a new map caused me to lose the "Places of Worship" POI category. It has been a long year of misinformation, re-installing map after map, being blamed for the delay in getting support because I followed the instructions of posting at least every 72 hours to keep the question from being closed as answered... and the list goes on.

Hi All,

I wanted to navigate home from college this weekend. The GPS gave me a route. But I saw a different route on google maps. Even when I hit the alternate route button it still did not give me the google map route. I printed it up and followed it until I got to where the GPS picked up the remainder of the route. How can I add this for the future?

885 maps were released yesterday 2/16.

TomTom has announced updates to the software for some of their recent models. The announcement itself can be found on the page at:

Since some extra steps are needed to find the announcement even after you go there, I've copied the relevant text below

Can I program my TomTom to say the name of the road I am suppose to turn on? For example: "Turn left at Loundon Blvd" or "take the Rosemont Exit".
