POI collections - Free Download

This page contains POI Collections for you to download for free. These will work with all TomTom devices, including the TomTom GO series 3,5,7,9, Traffic, cracker, Europe, Special, Rider, Navigator, & Mobile. These files were made to solve the limitations of the TomTom's storage capacity. Now that's no longer an issue, they are still very useful to have all the brands (e.g. petrol stations) consolidated in one POI file. That means to hunt for a fuel stop, you only need to query one POI file not each individually.

HOW TO INSTALL THE POI FILES

NEWS

The POI files here have recently been extensively updated along with the rest of our data sets. We went back to primary data providers and verified details. The CD ROM that we sell (see box to right) contains all of the POIs here as well as many more we don't publish. Plus they are all easy to use, don't require unzipping and you can download or buy them on CD ROM.

We also create special POI sets for business to use - to ensure that their customers and partners can find locations. For info on this please see our group website www.landis-media.co.uk If you haven't downloaded tomtom HOME yet (it works for all tomtom's other than PDA's) then you should. The main advantage is that you can update your software to version 6 - and that increases POI limit up from the 29 up to 100 - a much more sensible number.

Some of you may notice that the number of POI we supply here on the site has been reduced. We have been concentrating on trying to improve POI quality overall and therefore to push the CD ROM that we sell (for a very reasonable price). We think that the POI below provide a fair reflection of what the disk contains.

We are also working on a much more targeted set of data to complement the new TomTom devices, with their increased capabilities.
