How do I add new POI to my Tomtom VIA280 GPS?

KwirkeeBirds

I have done it before through Tomtom Community and made a bookmark on Google to go there quickly, but now I get a message "page not found".

Can anyone help me with this matter please.

You should be able to do it via the MyDrive Connect app. (on a PC or Mac). Start it, right click on its icon in the task bar and "Manage Community Content".
