I tried to post this into the tech department but it seems drivers don’t tend to frequent in that domain, hence the repost here.
Has anyone tried adding downloaded POIs to their tomtom 5150? If so how do you do it?
Cheers
Click on to community content on the my connect notification on on your task bar on the pc when your tt is connected then a browser window will open allowing you to download the poi to the device, I think it will only allow 20 pop’s at a time so you may need to split them up if there is a lot.
nice one taa

The 20 limit is on “Favourites”, not POIs. You can have pretty much as many POIs and POI Categories as you like, with the only significant limit being on file size (which I think is still 2MBytes, as it was on earlier units). I have the BP Bunker sites on mine, which is over 500 POIs in one file - and even that’s only a 600-odd kByte file).
i have downloaded transport cafe and truck stop poi.
I am looking for an industrial estate poi download

I downloaded some pois from the pocket gps site and the tt would only allow 20 files a time to be installed, yer I think it could do with more options on the number of favourites though.

this what your looking for.
unzip and copy into map folder
Copy into map folder only applicable on earlier TomToms (the ones which use TomTom Home for updates and which appear as a USB disk drive in Your Computer/Windows Explorer. More recent devices (such as the OP’s 5150) don’t allow direct access to the file system on the TomTom so you have to go through the “Community Content” facility as outlined in post #2 above.
