Strange behavior with OV2 files
I've added a few OV2 files, these don't show up under "My Places" until I tap the "Add" button and then the "<" back button, then the categories appear. (Until the next time I start the app).
However, all the addresses within a category are the same, though the destinations are all different. This only happens in the new software, everything was fine previously.
Screenshots below, thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, OV2 file sync is not available with the new Go Navigation App. This feature is being evaluated by the development team. We'll provide an update here if and when this feature is planned for release. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.
But it does work, it just needs fine tuning!
Thanks, lampard
Thank you very much, greatly appreciated.
When will the imported waypoints via a ov2 file available in the TomTom Go app?
Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, OV2 file sync is not currently available. This feature is being evaluated by the development team. We'll provide an update here if and when this feature is planned for release.

I am also waiting for this feature as I do use it heavily (for paragliding sites). I guess not much peoples do use this feature, but for me it is important and one of the reason to choose TomTom over other solutions.
Not fun having functionalities taken out in a new version.
I have just paid for 12 month and I am considering asking to be paid back.

Because of this and other flaws, I gave up and moved to another platform.
Hi
On my moto G8 Power, the folder I put my .OV2 files is - Media Card/Android/data/com.tomtom.gplay.navapp/files/files/pois. This is still working with 2.2.1, but see my first post above.

Since after almost a year, TT can't even fix the giant signboard and add the volume slider back, I gave up and moved to a Garmin stand-alone. Now Garmin is out of commission do to ransomware attack.
I am looking for a nice safe cave to hide out in as it ain't safe out there anymore.
Whereas in 1.18.1 a 600 poi file works fine although I have to choose the current route option. So I'm not sure what the problem is with 2.2.0. in this regard.

Android\data\com.tomtom.gplay.navapp\files\serviceconnectors both empty.
On the SD card i have created the pois directories and copied POI's there. Can't see them though.
Worked for awhile but now TT hides critical files that are not accessible without root.
This seems to be the folder path for 2.2.* IF they're loaded on to your CARD. I can't check the path for the PHONE as both of my units with 2.2.* loaded use the card.
Whereas I have two othe units with 1.18.* loaded and they're on the PHONE and they both use the Android\data\com.tomtom.gplay.navapp\files\files\personal\pois
Then in the app if you can't see them in My Places the trick is to tap any other location in the My Places then when that shows on the map go back into My Places and they'll be there down the bottom. That's never failed when I can't see them.
They'll also show under Settings, Map & Display, Show On Map, Points of Interest, More Catergories. Although I haven't worked out what that does.
Did you also sideload the bmp or png icon files?
Seems to be installed in \system\data\data\com.tomtom.gplay.navapp. I'd try harder but don't really care anymore. Used along with Garmin yesterday and it got lost 75 miles out.
