Don't know why its taken me so long to follow up on this issue.
I've found a TomTom – VIC Public Toilets.ov2 – points of interest set.
I've also found that I can import them to my PC and also to my HD2 using CoPilot Central.
The trick is that the phone has to be actively connected via sync and NOT just plugged into the PC via the USB cable.
Then in copilot central | My Copilot | My Points of Interest | POIs on My Device
Although the table never shows anything I can Import the POI file and the POI image.
I even get a message to restart CoPilot to use the new POI set.
However, the new POIs never show and I can't figure out how to select them etc.
Any help from anyone who has successfully imported POIs for CoPilot would be greatly appreciated.
Copilot use CSV format for is POI.
You need to convert your OV2 to CSV.
Works fine for me.

Hello,no convert necessary, just copy and paste ov2 poi in folder COPILOT/SAVE on your storage card and run Copilot . Poi will be added automatically . Otherwise you can import them with copilot central on your computer .
Hi guys,
Thanks heaps for the replies,
As I mentioned in my initial post, I DID use Copilot Central to import to my device.
But the POI never showed in the Copilot Central POI table.
I just tried to create a 'save' folder on the storeage card
using ActiveSync but it gave me an error.
I then connected as a disk drive and found the 'save' folder was already there.
The 'save' folder already contained the .ov2 and the .bmp.
So CoPilot Central must have worked.
The 'save' folder must be hidden under ActiveSync Folder Browser.
Now, how do I get CoPilot to recoginze the new POIs?
Or get CoPilot to show me that it had already loaded the POIs?
Or how to tell CoPilot to show me the POIs on the map.
etc.
Do you check them in settings/poi display ? Like i mentionned above,i just copy poi.ov2 in the save folder .
That was it?
Nothing else.
No setting tick this then reboot etc?
Farkle!
Will remove CP then reinstall and see.
It works for me,so no reason that it doesn't work for you ...
LOL. It might have worked for you with an extra tick here or there.
Nope. Removed and Reinstalled CoPilot.
Not happening.
Will reboot and see.
Well that was weird.
It asked me to install a .cab.
I did. Missed the name. I think it was a Copilo something .cab
Just installed
Wasn't not required to reboot.
And ran CoPilot.
CoPilot tells me there is a new POI.
Asks me to accept it.
Asks me to name the new catagory
then asks me to select the icon.
Then imports 1300 some odd POIs.
Still Not showing on map.
Had to go thru POIs to tick the very last one.
And Yep! Finally! There it is! My new POIs showing on the map.
That was weird!
Thanks for the help all.
All my best.
Happy for you that it works ...
remove please

Hi there
I have just installed TT5 on my XDA2 ( WM2003). The package came with 2 maps for Spain. I should probably mention that we are talking about a cracked version of TT5. 8) The installation was ok but once I start the program and I go through all the settings ( language bla bla bla…) I get a message saying “maps not found”. I know that the maps are there, on the memory card. Is there anything I’m missing? Is there any folder where I should place the maps? Or anything in the registry that should be changed?? I would appreciate your help as I intend to travel to Spain in the next 4 days.
Thanks

How did you install it ?
Which version was it ?
As far as i am aware ... ou need to install the map that came with it at the same time, them it will reconise the extra maps.
Gee..i’m so smart. 8) After a night of fiddling with TomTom I found the problem. Once installed TomTom will create a folder called TomTom ( dooh ) in My Documents. Inside that folder you will find a file called CurrentMap.dat. Copy the file on your PC and open it with a notepad. In my case the maps were located on the Storage Card. All you have to do insert the path where your maps are located. I.E : \Storage Card\Iberia-Map\
And voila…is working. Just got a Fortuna Slim GPS and everything works absolutely fine.
Anybody know how to add a map in Tomtom 5?, I have copied Deutschland-Map to my SPV M500 but my Tomtom does not recognize it.
I have tried to modify a file in MyDocuments called "CurrentMap.dat" by way of copy the file on my PC and open it with a notepad. In my case the maps were located on the Storage Card then just insert the path where the maps are located. I.E : \Storage Card\Deutschland-Map\ but still it doesn't work...!! :? Any idea would be highly appreciated..!!!
take the card out soft reset then put the card back in if that doesnt do it try a soft reset with the card in
tomtom map not found
I found this to be a problem also. I've got all the maps on the storage card along side the GREAT BRITAIN map and it doesn't pick them up.
I also tried amending the CURRENTMAP.DAT file to reflect the correct path, but nothing changes. Has anyone else suffered with this that could help us please? as this is getting really frustrating.
:lol:
yes, this makes frustration as Tomtom5 doesn't pick the extra map like Deutschland, Great Britain, Spain etc etc.
In this case, my standard map is Benelux so after I modify the file called "currentmap.dat" in Tomtom folder like : \Storage Card\Deutschland-Map\, it always returns to Benelux map and no other map options.
Before I changed that file the size was about 31kb, after I changed it became 62kb, however...once I started Tomtom to see whether it picked the Deutschland map, it returned to the original size of 31kb.....****t...!!! (
anyone can help me pleasseee...?
Map Not Found
Hi Guys, i Have had the map not found error a few times, i find its some how deleting this file from my memory card " Great_Britain_Plus.mid " not sure why. Once i put it backin the zip folder all is g00d, think it could be my windows media player adding it to libary en me removing it.. who no's.. hope it helps .. LAterZ
I also meet this problems. Map not found...
any ideas?
map not found
I simpley reinstalled the Tom Tom 5 software and it found the maps straight away!
I found this solution for me.
In each map folder there is a PNA file, e.g. Great_Britain-Map.PNA, this can be opened with notepad.
The last line of this PNA file for the maps that did work no problem were all the same number, 566. So, I opened their PNA file and changed that number to be the same as the maps that did work and bingo. it picked them up.
Give it a go.

USA Maps
I don't have the USA maps for TomTom 5....can anyone help me out!?
Matt
I had this problem when i first used TomTOm
The way i got it working was to install again but make sure you install the benalux map, leave it there then add your own maps.
Once your map is installed and youve ran TomTom, swap to your map then you can remove the benalux map.
HELP!!
Updated to Navigator 5.1 thanks to some great advice here, but Navigator still isn't saving my Home, Favourites etc...
Anyone know how (or if) I can get it to do so?
Thanks in advance
tomtom
I had to copy maps to desktop, right click properties and un tick read only, move back to folder and it all works.
Thanks.
Am I right in thinking the maps should be stored on the storage card? Mine are just in 2 folders - 1 for GB & 1 for Austria.
Oh No!!
did as you suggested, but now it can't find the maps at all!!
Can anyone tell me where the map files should be stored - thanks.
You can get TT to save home location, favourites etc by deleting the Great-Britain-Map.cfg file. This will then be re-created the next time TT loads and now retain your information
Hi,
I have just installed tomtom 5 on my pda. looks good. I have changed my home location and added some favourites and changed some POI. if i exit out of tomtom and then go back in, all my changes are lost.
Does anyone know why and if there is a way to get round this??
Thanks in advance

thats weird, i have no problem with my tom tom and its cracked, are you using a legit one? and how have you installed the files, did you put the files on the defult directory being your mmc and not in folders?? if you are not using legit one you might have to download another one else where or download it again.

You do exit in the correct way dont you?
Make sure all the files are not 'read only'...
yes I exit the correct way. how do I check if the files are read only?? and if they are, how do I change them??
TT5
hamzar,
Make sure your SD card is not locked, and delete the (map_name).cfg file in the map folder. Next time you start tomtom, the file is recreated. Should sort it, jobs a good'un, etc.

Hello All,
I have recently got TomTom Navigator and I have the North American map loaded up nicely, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the voices loaded.
I downloaded the Ozzy Swearing voice, and got the 3 necessary files I need, but I put them in every damn folder that has to do with TomTom and still no available voices show up in the application?
First, I created a folder called "Voices" on the root of the storage card, as I was instructed to do, but that didn't work.
Second, I went to Storage Card-->Program Files-->Navigator-->Sounds, and put the 3 files there. Still nothing.
Third, I found "TomTom" folder at My Device-->TomTom. I didn't create this folder, so i assume the app created it on the install. Anyways I put the 3 files there and again nothing.
Fourth, I went to My Device-->My Documents and created "TomTom" folder and dumped the 3 files in that folder. One forum said this might work, and it didn't unfortunately.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the current version and map pack I am using on my HTC HD2.
TomTom Navigator v7.910.9185
TomTom Maps of North America v8.45.2647
you have to put a \navigator\voices into the dir.
you download for ex voices from here laurusbuth.nl/tomtom up you go
ps: after hours of looking and searching and trying, i've managed to get these to work
google for : TTN7.916.9192_VGA_Black (cab) and Western_and_Central_Europe_2GB_840_2563

Hey the original didn't have a voice folder by default. The voice folder is created after adding your first voice. Just thought you should know.
Buy the original software from tomtom website and you'll see the difference ...You said :"The voice folder is created after adding your first voice" . So where is the problem in fact because you said "First, I created a folder called "Voices" on the root of the storage card, as I was instructed to do, but that didn't work." So folder is created after install in the right place,not necessary to create it manually ...
maps
Hi,
thank you for the tips!
Now I still can't figure out how to load the maps.
I have a file called "France" that I tried to place everywhere, but I can't find a place where it works (tomtom tells me that I don't have any map).
Should I create a new folder like for the voices?
I tried to create a "CurrentMap.dat" (real dat, no txt) file set to "& \Carte Stockage\France\" that I put in "HTC HD_mini_T5555\Carte Stockage\My Documents\TomTom", but not result.
Any idea why it still says that I have no map?
Thank you.
It has to be activated first. You can do that on the TomTom site
Hi,
a problem is that I can't use "active sync" on my computer, nor any program that require windows update to get installed, because windows update is not working (don't know why, it's a real version). Anyway... no active sync for me.
That's why I can't load the first free map too.
