TomTom talk

I saw it listed, but didn't have my TomTom to upload it. Now I can not find it.

Does anyone know if there is a conversion for this type of installation to save me ripping out the existing mount as I now have an xxl

I have put a POI on my VIA 1435. I have an Icon for it but can not find the icon on the TomTom or how to link it to the POI. I have read manual and PDF file and can not figure out how to do this. I have a couple other POI's that I would like to add Icons too. But can not for the life of me figure this out.
Thanks for any help.

Some of our TomTom users reported an issue where OV2 files from POI Factory did not show POI icons en route and did not trigger proximity warnings when set to do so.

VersatileGuy was very helpful and did some research for us. He identified a technical issue with the ov2 skipper records that seems to have been the cause of these problems.

Greetings All,

I understand that I have to use PoiEdit to Convert POI from csv format to TomTom OV2.

My question is that PoiEdit gives me several choices for the input file format ie

Destinator
Navman
Navio
Garmin
MioMap

Which one to use? are they very different?

Is it really worth the money? I found one on amazon.ca for CDN$75. That's ridiculously expensive as it is almost 60% of the price I paid for my unit.

PS. by mistake this was 1st posted in another thread instead of a new topic... Sorry

It seems that the format for tomtom poi files has changed. The files I downloaded from tt now have a *.tlv extension. My device will no longer see the old file extension. Any idea? thanks to all.

I downloaded the Starbucks ov2 file to my computer with no problem. The file [Starbucks_NA_Jun(B).ov2...745KB] was then transferred to my GPS unit using the MyTomTom program. All seemed to go well. However, nothing showed up on the map.

Using My TomTom, I installed several POI files. The titles (e.g. Target, Costco) show up in my list of POI categories, but when I select one of these newly installed categories, the message No POI Found appears. Do I have to do anything else to get these to work?

I have a Tomtom 540TM. Is there a way to cancel a route that is in progress? I understand I could start a new route and that would cancel the first route. But I want to cancel and not have a route active.

How to create and edit an Itinerary (ITN) files in a TomTom GPS

the tomtom was in the glove box with the universal mount that I keep on the dash. I must have not locked the door- no visible signs of entry.
It was duct taped into the mount, which they cut and left the mount.
what bothers me more than the losing the tomtom is all my data that is on it!

Just read this in the paper:

Falling demand pushes TomTom into huge loss.

Two telling remarks were:

I have still not been able to get the McDonalds and Wendys warnings from this site to work on my TomTom. The Redlight camera warnings work and the rest area warnings work. I am using a different custom audio alert for all. The POI for McD and Wendys show up on the map - no problem. But no warning is put on the screen or heard. This is driving me crazy. I have followed the TomTom FAQ exactly.

I am somewhat new to the GPS world but I did download the rest area poi file to my TomTom XXL. On a recent trip from Atlanta to Raleigh I noticed that only 2 of about 8 rest areas were alerted/displayed. Any ideas and why would TomTom not include rest areas on their maps? I appreciate any help.
