Thought I'd have another look at this. Downloaded aires poi's from campingcar.infos. How do I get them on to my TomTom?

Its going back a couple of years but from memory you plug your tomtom into your PC, find the OV2 tom tom files you downloaded, right click and select copy. Then browse or find your Tom Tom drive which is probably displayed in MY COMPUTER as Drive E or F, click on it and find Maps or Western Europe Maps, double click on that folder then right click and past the OV2 files you copied earlier in that folder.
Im sure someone else will be along with a much simpler version!

Yes. Looks good. All you should need to do is copy these to your main maps folder on your TomTom. Mine is Western Europe Maps or something like that. The OV2 file is the important one and the bitmap file is the motorhome icon that appears on your sat nav. Just copy the whole lot to you tom tom maps folder.

In the search box type Fichiers OV2 pour GPS TOM TOM
Take the tick out of mot exact box.
Should take you to a page to download the French ones.

As for copying to your satnav barryd has covered that but don't forget to backup your satnav using tomtom home. On my download there are about ten types of aires.
Also received new 4GB memory card today and installed full Western Europe map - no more messing about with different zones
It's a shame I'm heading for Slovenia and Croatia straight from the Newark Show. Neither country on my new map
Now I know how to do it I'll do the German stops next as I'll be slowly meandering through Germany on my way south.
Thanks again - the power of MHF
