Importing a community POI list 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. Tip: Some TomTom Navigation devices have POI lists pre-installed. Your TomTom GO uses .OV2 files for POI collections.
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 MyDrive. 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.
Tip: MyDrive also syncs your locations in My Places with your TomTom account. You can see your My Places locations and the POI place lists you have imported in MyDrive on a web browser or on the MyDrive app. Make sure that there is at least 400 MB of free space on your device before syncing your device with MyDrive. If there is not enough space, your MyDrive information will not be synced. You can check the amount of available space by going to About in the Help menu on your device.
