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 start the download
- which is 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 your browser/firewall settings to
download the files.
Some
software firewalls on PC's will warn you when you attempt to
download. This is because .ZIP files can potentially contain
viruses. McAfee have checked our site for harmful viruses and
software and you can click this
LINK to see this report.
Some firewalls may also prevent
you from downloading the files. If this is the case then please
refer to your firewalls documentation and setup. Our .ZIP files
do not contain any "active" components - only data.
You will need to SAVE the .ZIP file to your computer and then
proceed to unzip it to access the POI data. Click below for a guide
to this setup procedure.

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 tomtom software to version 7.
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 have also a new MAP SERVICE - where we can
provide your TomTom with a new set of up to date maps. We will do
all the installing and setup required as well as cleaning up the
software on your TomTom. To see details of this then
CLICK HERE.

Jewson
The well know
building supply merchants. They don't seem to advertise on

lot". Well they still stock building materials and are a useful
source of goods.

Methodist Churches
Just to show there's no bias we pout up Methodist
churches. This is a great POI set from Peter Howarth and very
thankful we are for it. As churches are often coded to the
vicars home address and not the church itself. A handy guide for
all Methodists.
