Tom Tom for Iphone app

Can POI's be downloaded from this site for Iphone 4 with Tom Tom app?

I dont think so

I think the Ap uses data from elsewhere and you cant update it?

I think So

I think that it does support poi's probably just needs some TLC to get it into the right place for the tom tom to see them.

TomTom on iPhone

There is an easy, if a little inconvenient way, to add your own POI's and also set up alerts for them.

I use Diskaid, it allows me to add and remove .OV2 and .PNG files.

You need to use .PNG files rather than .BMP as the iPhone app wont work with .BMP

They also need to be 44x44 not 22x22

You can also use the mapsettings.cfg file from something like an old TT GO 740 Live, this allows you to set up alerts for things like speed cameras to trigger at set distances.
You can't edit the mapsettings.cfg file on the iPhone app so it needs to be "edited" elsewhere then transferred to the iPhone.

Hope this helps!

Update on adding POI files to iOS app

Just to update this.....

The iOS app will use .bmp files, I find they still work best at 44 x 44 rather than 22 x 22.
I now use iMazing to manage files on the iPhone, It works very well!
