Using community POI lists
You can find collections of community POIs on the Internet and use them by saving them to a
supported SD card that you insert in the device. 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 BASIC uses .OV2 files for POI collections.
Using an .OV2 file on your TomTom GO
1.
Copy the .OV2 onto a supported SD card using a PC.
2.
Select My Places in the Main Menu.
Your new POI list is shown in the Places list.
3.
Select your new POI list.
Your new POI list opens showing all the POIs in the list.
4.
Select a POI from the list, or select the map view to see the POIs on the map.
5.
To plan a route to this destination, select Drive/Ride depending on which device you are using.
A route is planned and then guidance to your destination begins. As soon as you start driving,
the guidance view is shown automatically.
