How do you add POI sets to Tom Tom Go mobile version 2.2.3.
just copy the *.ov2 files to: /Android/data/com.tomtom.gplay.navapp/files/files/personal/pois.
If the "pois" folder does not exist, just create it.
If you want icons for these POI on the map, create 64x64 pixel *.png files with the same name and store them in
/Android/data/com.tomtom.gplay.navapp/files/files/personal/pois/ov2_icons/hdpi/
e.g. hotels.png will be the icon for hotels.ov2.

I have no connection with POI Pocket (there are probably other apps that do the same thing) but I've found it to be a simple-to-use bit of software that, well, just works
When are they fix it?
Hopefully asap otherwise...byebye TomTom...
They get a product as close to how customers want it and then release an update or new product that puts them back to where they were 3 years prior.
It's like they removed the ability to use 3rd party speed cameras from their products, so you have to also use another app on the device to get these.
Although it pains me to say this, having used Google Navigation recently, TT GO is definitely nicer to use and I find it's more consistent at producing 'sensible' routes. Additionally, if you ever have to start your navigation when you're in an area with no mobile reception (I often have to do this) Google Navigation can be problematic.
The problem I then have is that I can only see the first 50 or so pois.
Only 50 for free, I paid TomTom for this all ready.
They shouldn't take it out without let people know!
Not so, BUT you do have to force it to load on the SDCard by filling up your internal memory so there's only about 300mb of free memory. I used large mp4 files, a but of a pain but it really only took 30 minutes.
Then delete them when you've loaded TT and maps.
Butt like I said, can only see the first 50 pois in the file.
LOL, then I have 500Gb to fill....thanks for the tip though...
