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.

Instructions for
downloading files from this web page
Please download the POIs that you require below by
locating the relevant POI set in the box below. Then click on
either the ICON or the TITLE of the box. This will then initiate the downloading
procedure which is to download a .ZIP file.
TOMTOMFREE.COM uses a very simple
file retrieval system. This is to allow as many users as possible to
benefit from our downloads without technical difficulties.
Unfortunately
we cannot test every system and the setup of every browser type. If for some
reason your web browser prevents you from downloading
the .ZIP files then you will have to change the browsers settings to
download the files.
Some
software firewalls on PC' will warn you when you try and download a
.ZIP file because they can contain viruses. Some may also prevent
you from downloading the files. If this is the case then please
refer to your firewalls documentation and setup.
A
firewall may warn you when you download a .ZIP file from an
un-trusted source or website. In this case we are a trusted source
and we guarantee that our .ZIP files contain no viruses. Our files
also don't contain any programs that can be activated as you are
only downloading tomtom data files.
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.
