I recently replaced my 7 year old GO Live 1005 for a new GO BASIC and would like to transfer the ov2 file from my GO Live 1005 to my new device. I have the ov2 file on my PC, but connecting my GO BASIC does not trigger MYDrive Connect to show me the Community menu item, when I right-click the taskbar icon.

[/h3][h3]Re... Your GO Basic Device....[/h3][h3]POIs are installed using the MyDrive Web Route planner...[/h3]Here...https://mydrive.tomtom.com
[h3]How to import POIs, GPX files and Favourites in MyDrive[/h3]See Tomtom Video...https://youtu.be/gy4EEelMb0Y
[h3]Displaying Personal POIs on the Driving/Planning View Maps[/h3]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
[h3]Setup... After installing your Personal or 3rd party POIs....[/h3]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
