Haing real problems with my tomtom poi file. I use GSAK and usually export the tomtom poi file onto my pda the thing is now it only takes it to 19 miles away i must have messed it up somewhere because it always used to export all the geocaches for the 400 caches i had downloaded.

can anyone help me tell me where i have gone wrong please i used to have it working great :lol:

I thought i had the same problems with my TOM TOM when i updated the software but i didn't.

 

The first 40 or so nearest caches are shown in the POI menu but the other caches were still in the TOM TOM. If i scrolled the map or went on a journey the nearest 40 showed up wherever i was in the country.

This only started happening since the software update.

 

Don't know if this is the problem you have but hope it helps. :lol:

Hello

 

Has there been a TomTom upgrade ?

 

How do I get it ?

 

Thanks in advance.

You can still use GSAK - but if you want to get all the country's caches into TomTom the fastest way by a mile is to do as I have said. Gettin them all in TT can be as easy as connecting your device by a USB cable and having POIEdit pull them all down and install them in seconds automatically.

I have no problem with GSAK loading straight into TomTom (in my case TT One but should be no different with a PDA) but as has been said TomTom does not show the POIs over a certain distance which I thought was 30 miles but could well be 20. When you get in range of those "hidden" POIs, they show up again. If you want to access a POI which is out of range it is possible on the One to type in its identity.

My understanding is that the device will use GPX files directly and appears as an external drive when connected by USB. It should be quite easy to automate that I would think.
