in TomTom GO Navigation app for Android™
Before the app updated today I was able to upload my poi files and have them appear in the Myplaces section.
How can I do this now?

    Hi @DaveC4

    If you have updated to the new App it does not support the Poi function.

    Hi,
    Is it possible to reload / find the "old" version of TomTom GO Navigation app that would cope with user poi's?

    Thanks for the contact info.

    However do you not agree that it is rubbish for useful functions to be removed with no notice and no replacement.
    I see that I am not the first to complain about this.

    Is there a limit on the number of entries in "my places". I guess I'm about to find out when I have to scroll through about 300 places to find the one I want.......

    The only way to install the old 1.18.1 version is to download the APK from a APK mirror site and install it from this "unknown" source. (Not recommended by Google)

    The inability to load my POI files is totally unforgivable Are TT committed to fixing this and if so, approx timescale?.

    It's been this way since 2013!!!! with the advent of what are referred to as Nav 4 devices.

    Sorry, I should have been more explicit. In v 1.18.1, I could sync my POIs via the .ov2 files downloaded to MyDrive, so that they appeared in My Places. Now they have disappeared when I've been upgraded to the new app. Why? Why would you release such a broken app that people's prized POI collections are unusable? (not too big an issue for me, but for some folks it will be)
