Importing a community POI list - MyDrive - NOT CONNECTED
You can find collections of community POIs on the Internet and upload them to My Places using
MyDrive in a web browser. A POI collection might contain, for example, campsites or restaurants for
the area you are traveling in, and provides an easy way to select a location without the need to
search for the location each time.
Your VIA uses .OV2 files for POI collections.
To upload an .OV2 file to your VIA, do the following:
1. Connect your VIA to your computer using MyDrive Connect.
2. In MyDrive, select Import POI File and browse to your .OV2 file.
Tip: The name of the places list in My Places will be the same as the name of the .OV2 file.
Edit the name of the file so that you can easily recognize it in My Places.
3. Upload the POI list to your VIA.
Your new POI list is shown in the Places list.
4. In My Places, select your new POI list.
Your new POI list opens showing all the POIs in the list. Select the map view to see the POIs on
the map.
Deleting a community POI list
You can only delete an uploaded POI list when your VIA is connected to your computer using MyDrive
Connect.
To delete a POI list, do the following:
1. Connect your VIA to your computer using MyDrive Connect.
2. In MyDrive, select the POI file you want to delete, then select Delete.
The POI list is removed from your My Places list.
Importing a track GPX file
GPX files (GPS exchange format)
GPX files contain a very detailed recording of a route, including any off-road locations. A GPX file
might contain, for example, a tourist route or a preferred fixed route. You can find collections of
.GPX files on the internet and upload them to My Routes using MyDrive in a web browser. GPX files
become tracks after import.
Tracks have a beginning and an end but no stops, and there's a fixed map-dependent route between
these points. Your device follows this fixed route as closely as possible. You can edit tracks using
tools such as Tyre Pro.
Using GPX files
You use MyDrive on your computer to import .GPX track files to your TomTom device. The tracks are
saved in the My Routes menu. Your device will navigate along the GPX track exactly and will not
offer to replan your route, even if a faster route is available.
Importing a track GPX file
Note: Your VIA needs at least 400 MB free space before it can import .OV2 and .GPX files. If you
see the message You need more space, make space available by deleting unwanted .OV2 or .GPX
files using MyDrive or deleting device content, for example delete a map you don't use.
To import a .GPX file using MyDrive, do the following:
