Importing a community POI list
You can find collections of community POIs on the Internet and upload them to
MyDrive in a web browser. A POI collection might contain, for example, campsites or restaurants for
the area you are travelling in, and provides an easy way to select a location without the need to
search for the location each time.
Tip: Some TomTom Navigation devices have POI lists pre-installed.
Your TomTom GO Camper uses .OV2 files for POI collections.
Note: Your TomTom GO Camper needs at least 400 MB free space before it can import .OV2 and
.GPX files. If you see the message
You need more space, make space available by deleting
unwanted .OV2 or .GPX files using MyDrive, or deleting device content, for example delete a map
you don't use.
To upload an .OV2 file to your TomTom GO Camper, do the following:
1.
In a web browser, log in to your TomTom account.
2.
Select
POI Files in the My Places menu.
3.
Select
Import POI File and browse to your .OV2 file.
Tip: The name of the places list in My Places will be the same as the name of the .OV2 file.
Edit the name of the file so that you can easily recognise it in My Places.
4.
Make sure you are logged in to MyDrive on your TomTom GO Camper.
Your TomTom GO Camper syncs with your TomTom account and receives the new POI file.
Note: Some .OV2 files are large and can take a long time to upload. Make sure that you sync
your TomTom GO Camper before you start driving.
5.
Select
My Places in the Main Menu.
Your new POI list is shown in the Places list.
6.
Select your new POI list.
Your new POI list opens showing all the POIs in the list. Select the map view to see the POIs on
the map.
Deleting a community POI list

My Places menu, select POI Files .

Importing a track GPX file
GPX files (GPS exchange format)
GPX files contain a very detailed recording of a route, including any off-road locations. A GPX file
might contain, for example, a tourist route or a preferred fixed route. You can find collections of
.GPX files on the Internet and upload them to
using MyDrive in a web browser. GPX files
become tracks after import.
