Importing a community POI list - MyDrive - NOT CONNECTED
You can find collections of community POIs on the Internet and upload them to My Places using
MyDrive in a web browser. A POI collection might contain, for example, campsites or restaurants for
the area you are travelling in, and provides an easy way to select a location without the need to search
for the location each time.
Your START/VIA uses .OV2 files for POI collections.
To upload an .OV2 file to your START/VIA, do the following:
1. Connect your START/VIA to your computer using MyDrive Connect.
2. In MyDrive, select Import POI File and browse to your .OV2 file.
Tip: The name of the places list in My Places will be the same as the name of the .OV2 file. Edit
the name of the file so that you can easily recognise it in My Places.
3. Upload the POI list to your START/VIA.
Your new POI list is shown in the Places list.
4. In My Places, select your new POI list.
Your new POI list opens showing all the POIs in the list. Select the map view to see the POIs on the
map.
Deleting a community POI list
You can only delete an uploaded POI list when your START/VIA is connected to your computer using
MyDrive Connect.
To delete a POI list, do the following:
1. Connect your START/VIA to your computer using MyDrive Connect.
2. In MyDrive, select the POI file you want to delete, then select Delete.
The POI list is removed from your My Places list.
Importing a track GPX file
GPX files (GPS exchange format)
GPX files contain a very detailed recording of a route, including any off-road locations. A GPX file
might contain, for example, a tourist route or a preferred fixed route. You can find collections of .GPX
files on the Internet and upload them to My Routes using MyDrive in a web browser. GPX files become
tracks after import.
Tracks have a beginning and an end but no stops, and there's a fixed map-dependent route between
these points. Your device follows this fixed route as closely as possible. You can edit tracks using tools
such as Tyre Pro.
Using GPX files
You use MyDrive on your computer to import .GPX track files to your TomTom device. The tracks are
saved in the My Routes menu. Your device will navigate along the GPX track exactly and will not offer
to replan your route, even if a faster route is available.
Importing a track GPX file

1. Connect your START/VIA to your computer using MyDrive Connect.
2. In MyDrive, select My Routes.
3. Select Import a GPX File and browse to your .GPX track file.
