Large POI File

[sab]

As mentioned I just purchased the 840 map for my XL. With my 815 map I had installed the larger POI file (thanks to this forum) and really liked having all those extras.

Is there a way of transferring those to my new map or do I have to wait for a new file to come out?

Thanks in advance and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all !!!!!!!!

Make an Explorer backup first then copy over the larger poi.dat and crpoi.dat files to your map folder on the new unit.

All I could find was poi.dat but it worked. Thanks

That's normal - crpoi.dat is a more detailed info file only used for the GO models

Mind if I ask where you got this large POI file? I'd like to add more POI's to my TomTom too.
