Creating POIs

Tip: For help on managing third party POIs, search for "Third party POIs" at: tomtom.com/support.

  1. Tap the screen to open the Main menu.
  2. Tap Settings.
  3. Tap Manage POIs.
  4. If there are no POI categories or the one you want to use does not exist, tap Add POI category and create a new category.

    Every POI must be assigned to a POI category. This means you need to have created at least one POI category before you can create your first POI.

    You can only add POIs to POI categories you have created.

    For more information on creating POI categories, read Managing POIs.

  5. Tap Add POI.
  6. Select the POI category you want to use for the new POI.
  7. Tap a button to enter the POI address in the same way that you plan a route.
  8. The POI is created and saved in the selected category.

    Home

    Tap this button to set your Home location as a POI.

    This is useful if you decide to change your Home location, but first want to create a POI using the current Home address.

    Favourite

    Tap this button to create a POI from a Favourite.

    You might want to create a POI from a Favourite because you can only create a limited number of Favourites. If you want to create more Favourites you need to delete some Favourites. To avoid losing a Favourite, save the location as a POI before you delete the Favourite.

    Address

    Tap this button to enter an address as a new POI.

    When you enter an address, you can choose from four options.

    • City centre
    • Street and house number
    • Postcode
    • Crossing or intersection

    Recent destination

    Tap this button to select a POI location from a list of places you have recently used as destinations.

    Point of Interest

    Tap this button to add a Point of Interest (POI) as a POI.

    For example, if you are creating a category of POIs for your favourite restaurants, use this option instead of entering the addresses of the restaurants.

    My location

    Tap this button to add your current location as a POI.

    For example, if you stop somewhere interesting, you can tap this button to create a new POI at the current location.

    Point on map

    Tap this button to create a POI using the map browser.

    Use the cursor to select the location of the POI, then tap Done.

    Latitude Longitude

    Tap this button to create a POI by entering latitude and longitude values.

    Position of last stop

    Tap this button to create a POI from your last recorded position.
