Select a category for your new POI.
Select GPS Position - This will save your current location.
Then name it!
Also check out www.poiedit.com - it allows you to edit / update poi files saved.Posted by TomtumApril 2, 2005 Deborah....alan....geordie May I direct all three of you to www.tomtom.com so that you can get answers 'straight from the horse's mouth'. It is not the easiest site in the world to navigate so what you need to do is to enable Cookies and then create an account (no cash involved)...ie, Register. After that, click 'support' half-way down the home page and on the next page click 'product support' in left hand list. This will bring you to answers to 323 frequently asked questions. There is a partial answer to your question, Deborah, on page nine (of 17) but you will probably have to send an e-mail via the site and then be *very* patient before you get an answer! Posted by GlobetrotterApril 2, 2005 Customising Tomtom Go Has anyone any experience of customising their TomTom Go cover? I'd really like a black one to match my interior.Posted by BadboiApril 2, 2005 Poi Files I would like to create a file with places of interest in my area for my tom tom go. Is this possibble for a non techie. If possible, can someone give me a non technical answer. Thanks Posted by GeordieApril 1, 2005 Poi Files I would like to create a file with all the places of interest in my locality for the tom tom go. I'm not a techie so I'd appreciate a reply in laymans terms if thats possible. Thanks Posted by AlanApril 1, 2005 Tomtom Go Hi, I have just purchased a tomtom go, Please can anyone tell me how or what I need to get for maps of the USA Thanks Posted by DeborahApril 1, 2005 Signal/updates Toiny, thanks for the response on the heated front screen in the focus!! Also, has anyone purchased any SD cards with POI updates and full postcode search - if so, is it really worth doing it?
Thanks Posted by LeeMarch 31, 2005 Tom Tom Go Detail....shetland Isles I have spent the last fifteen minutes typing in the most off-the-beaten-track places in the Shetland Isles and found all of them in Tom Tom's database. As I do not know street names up there, I cannot assure you that TT would list them as well but if you need to have that info, send me a few via this site and I will investigate.Posted by GlobetrotterMarch 31, 2005 Poi Databases I have just bought a Tom Tom Go and am very pleased with it. That said, the system seems to be full of gaps, especially around the POIs. Does anyone know if organisations such as petrol companys (e.g. Shell) and fast food outlets (e.g. Mc Donalds)provide databases to TTG customers of their respective sites. If this isn\'t the case then I would ask all of you that work for such organisations to put this idea in the company suggestion scheme and provide them with another useful marketing device.Posted by Big LadMarch 31, 2005 Signal Don't worry about the signal in a Ford Focus with heated screen, I have one and it works perfectly ok if you mount it on the bottom right hand side of the screen Posted by ToinyMarch 31, 2005 French Maps Michael, The maps of Western Europe only cover major roads and it's a bit pricey if you include the SD Card too. Just looking on Amazon I found the French map preloaded on SD Card, exactly as you wanted. It's 85 quid. Here's the link :
