Operate My Go functionality in TT home
Any hints would be very much appreciated.
Update: I've just found a very helpful post (Link attached below) that has helped me to re-install version 2.9 of Home. This now allows me to 'operate myGo' correctly.
The problem with reverting to earlier versions of Home is that there appears to be no way of stopping the system from installing the latest "critical update" - until I found this fairly straightforward fix.
I went through the installation process using the old 2.9 version I had from the last update then edited the Application.ini file. I had to use Notepad++ in Administrator mode to allow the file to be saved over the original.
Why version 2.10 of Home doesn't allow operation of the Go is a stupid bug. Please fix TomTom!

See Tomtom video Installing 3rd party POis....
Displaying Personal POIs on the Driving View/Map
Be aware... You can't install the POI associated .BMP files
You can only use the Tomtom supplied generic Icons
But you can use one icon for for more than one POI category i.e... place all your fuel categories under one Icon, then if you tap on a nearby 'say' Fuel Icon a Quick menu opens --> Tap the 3Dot Icon for more options & more Information
Setup... After installing your Personal or 3rd party POIs....Tap 4Dot (....Menu) --> Settings --> Appearance --> Show POI lists on the Map
It says a restart is required, but I've never found it to be necessary
After choosing the Generic Icon.. Tap the coloured (^) Icon screen top right... Pinch zoom the Map, the Generic POI Icons all appear live and working
Note... The Generic POI Icons disappear when the Map is highly zoomed out, and reappear as you zoom in again
