Hi @MarcelAlderweireld

Your welcome.

The trucker 620 does not have "POI lists" and you can't disable the charging stations under the edit list. Why do truckers need charging stations on the screen? We may in the future but right now it is distracting as that is the most listed pop up.

You should be able the Hide/Deselect Charging Station... See below
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Setting --> Appearance --> Show POI Lists on the Map....
Scroll down to 'Charging Station' Tap Hide
Tap the Blue ( ^ ) Icon... Screen top right to exit....

Installing 3rd party POI Categories...
You use the MyDrive Web Route planner
Here... https://mydrive.tomtom.com

See Tomtom Video... How to import POIs, GPX files and Favourites in MyDrive


Displaying Personal POIs on the Driving View/Map
Be aware... You can't install the POI associated .BMP files
You can only use the 5 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 (I guess so you can scroll around a clear Map to find your location)
The Icon reappear as you zoom back in again

Here the Yellow Pentagon Icons --> National Trust

Hi @cdmolter

The Tomtom Professional manual says on page 132 that there are POI lists and what Icons you can allocate to the POI files. If this is the case I would expect you to find as described above in Settings/Appearance. These units which, include a 620, are truck devices so is this what you have got?
