cook1e Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 For those of you who use TOM TOM sat navs, here's a POI file and CT image file that you can load up on to your device with all the RBRR Control stops.It's in TOM Tom ov2 format. If you have another type of sat nav it should be possible to convert it using POI Edit software which is available for free download from:- http://www.poiedit.com/downloads.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS211083 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Cookie, how do you upload this file. I have a Go50 but The only way I can see to upload is with a memory sd card????God I'm useless at this.Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemate Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I couldn't download or load it last time,maybe I'll have better luck this time.Just for back up as with luck we will be sticking to the road book,like we did last time :X Still can't work out how we overtook the same car three times within 30 min without said car ever overtaking us :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJP Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I had no luck converting the file to Garmin format using poi edit last time, fortunately my Sat Nav still has most of the control stops in it from 2012 that I put in using post codes and coordinates where post codes weren't available. The post codes are shown in this months Club Torque.The coordinates for those locations without post codes are in Andy's .csv file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Thanks, Andy.This is his file converted to Navman. Even though it's the same as his and I've checked them myself I take no responsibility if it's wrong in your unit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I belive if you treat it as a hard drive . IE go to my computer and see the drive which probably be marked as Removable drive you should be able to open that and copy the file in there. But it will need to go in the correct folder. If you google it you should find out where to put it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is a Start 25 and it works as long as it has the same filename as the POI file and it's a .bmp file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cook1e Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Useful web link, this takes you to the Tom Tom page with instructions of how to load POI files. http://uk.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13814/~/how-can-i-install-or-remove-third-party-pois%3FUnfortunatly the facility is not available on all TOm Toms, on the web page it states:- "Note: This feature is not available on the following devices: START 40, START 50, START 60, GO 40, GO 50, GO 60, GO 400, GO 500, GO 600, GO 5000, GO 6000.

Bit of a bummer that really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Thanks for the file cookie - loaded it into our old TomTom!Not that easy to choose a POI in the user interface - but we'll work it out as we go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cook1e Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 The Roadbook is available for download under Events - RBRR - Info for entrants from the menu at the top of the forum page, although I think this may be restricted for CT members to access only...
