POIs are useful landmarks that you can display on the map, such as gas stations, hotels and restaurants. You can also add these POIs to your TomTom, so that you can always see these desired POIs while navigating with the TomTom.


ATTENTION! At the moment it is only possible to use the file type .OV2 to transfer POIs to your TomTom.
