using PoiEdit for conversion

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?

TomTom Bluetooth Remote Control

TomTom Bluetooth Remote Control

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

tomtom poi file format (*.tlv extension)

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.

Starbucks POI's don't show up on VIA 1405.

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.

POI files on TomTom Via 1530TM

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?

Tomtom route cancellation

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.

my tomtom was stolen

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!

sad

POI Warnings (on TomTom)

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.

Rest Areas STILL Missing (on TomTom XXL)

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.

Problems with tomtom via 1435 custom poi's

New 875 Maps

If TT sticks to their normal quarterly schedule, new 875 maps should be released in the next couple of weeks.

Custom POI icons

I have loaded five files into my TOMTOM ONE. I used existing BMP icons.
1Mcdonalds.ov2
1Mcdonalds.bmp
5aWal-Mart.ov2
5aWal-Mart.bmp
These icons show up on my Garmin ok.
Only the McDonalds does not show up on the ONE. It does show up when I am navigating to it but not when driving past.
Any ideas?

Not all Alerts Work

I set alerts for three POIs on my TomTom. I followed the directions found on this site's TomTom FAQ. One works - a file for rest areas that was built in to the TomTom. The two that I downloaded from this site - McDonalds and Wendys - show up on the map, but no alerts come up for them as set. Both files were TomTom format. I for all I used alert sounds built in to the TT.

Any suggestions?
