Hi @TaHj
Welcome to the site...
Firstly... What's in the .Zip File ???
The latests NAV4 or NAV5 (Wi-Fi) devices.... Installing 3rd party .Ov2 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 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
Thanks. I have been able to follow your instructions halfway throuh. i.e. my POIs (including my contacts) have been transferred to my PC, where i can find them as .zip, .bmp and .ov2 files, but I can't open any.
From then on I can't follow your video, partly because because it is moving too fast and partly because all text on my PC is in Danish.
Could I ask you to send me your further instructions in plain language so that I can print them out and follow them slowly step by step. (I'm 87 years old)
