Using community POI lists

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 GO uses .OV2 files for POI collections.

Note: Your GO needs at least 400 MB free space before it can import .OV2 and .GPX files. If you see the message You need more space, make space available by deleting unwanted .OV2 or .GPX files using MyDrive, or deleting device content, for example delete a map you don't use.

Using an .OV2 file on your GO

1. Upload the .OV2 file using MyDrive on a browser.
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.

   Tip: To see more results, hide the keyboard or scroll down the results list.
