I do it via windows explorer and drag and drop them into the appropriate folders.

But someone will be along shortly to tell you how to do it correctly Very Happy

Hi Stan

to work with TomTom I think the POI's have to end with .OV2. The type of file is critical or it wont work

Garmin for example uses different file extensions

Make sure they are specifically for TomTom

All my TomTom POI's end in .OV2
