Where Do I Begin?

Hi. I have a TomTom OneXL-S and would like to start the uploading process of POI's to the unit. I have tried to initially download the files, yet the GPS unit doesn't seem to want to 'take' the information.

Contrary to what a member has informed new users, I have opened TomTom Home as a medium by which to connect. I didn't know of any other way. I've not found the file on the hard drive of maps either.

I'm a bit computer illiterate in this task and would need step-by-step instructions. I have been able to download using Home, voices and such. The POI's are what I am interested in..

Thanks,
Marinerguy

Thanks

I'll click on the Icon on My Computer with the unit plugged in using a USB. I don't recall seeing a Map Folder, but I'll look again.

Thanks for your help.

Try a different usb port

Try plugging into a different USB port, check MyComputer and you should see a disc drive letter for your tom tom.

I got it!

I believe I got it. Not too bad once the transfer of files were complete. I did find that there were duplicate files like ie. (redlight cameras (2)). So I stuck to only BMP/OV2 Files, for instance. (or OGG where applicable)

What a great website!
Oh, I also was able to download voices.
