Looking for assistance. My bloody valentine you made me realise lyrics. I just down loaded a updated 'Diners Drive-Ins and Dives' file.OV2 format to my Tom Tom device folder as I have in the past. I saved the new file in the 'USA and Canada' folder. It looked like ny device was 'updating'. I disconnected the Tom Tom from the computer and can access any catagory 'Point of Interst' and I can see the Diners Drive-Ins and Dives icon.
However when I select the Icon the device says 'No POI Found'. I successfully added several other categories from this web site and they work great. What am I missing? There are a couple of issues with the OV2 files on this site. I have researched the file format and reported my findings to the maintainers of the site.
They are working on a correction. For the time being, I have reverted to manipulating them myself. I have old tools from TomTom (dumpOV2 and makeOV2) that I can use to get an ASCII list of the OV2 file, then convert it to a proper OV2 file. It can also make an OV2 file from a CSV file. Search for makeOV2 and you should be able to find it. Not sure if TomTom still provides the tool.
Their tech support just pointed me to the TomTom Home application for all my POI needs.
