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

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
The POI Icons only show on the Maps (Not available on Traffic Bar)
The Charging Station POI Icons do appear on the 2D & 3D Driving view Map....

The direction of Travel Icon is thinner more pointed in the 2D in direction of travel or 3D Driving view
Maybe @VikramK could pick this up and pass it on as a suggestion to the designers as an improvement if they can add the Charging Stations as an option that can be added for display in the Route Bar as Rest Areas, Petrol Stations etc are.
@DougLap That would be a great idea. @VikramK With my go5100 the charging stations are shown in 2d but not in 3d drive mode.

(Snip) My Go 5100 the charging stations are shown in 2d but not in 3d drive mode (Snip)
+1... I can confirm the NAV4 devices only show Charging Station POI Icons on the 2D Driving view Map....
I think this problem may go back a long way, the NAV4 devices have always shown more details on the 2D Maps than the 3D Maps....
There were many complaints about missing road names especially on side roads....
I guess its the 2x faster Processor speed of the NAV5 (Wi-Fi) devices over the NAV4 devices that can cope with the displayed graphics....
Hi @driel24
+1... I agree the Charging stations should be added to the list of options available on NAV4 & NAV5 (Wi-Fi) Route Bar....
As a workaround, have you thought about using the 2D in direction of travel view....
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Setting --> Guidance view... 2D (Indirection of travel)
I always use '2D (Indirection of travel)' + Zoom set to... 'Based on road type'

I have got them on the map, but they disappear when you are driving.

I can choose a lot : fuel stations, extra stops, toll roads, camera's, ferry's etc etc.
Charging stations should be one of them !
Can somebody add this in the nav4 program ?

Adding to the list for Route Bar can't be difficult !
@VikramK please try to arrange this ?
I was hoping that the charging stations would have been added to the Traffic Bar.
But unfortunately not..... nothing changed.
It is absolutely silly that in these modern days EV stations are not shown in the Bar.
@VikramK can you give us an update ?
