+wigglesworth Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I have upgraded to a tomtom GO 51. However the functions I used on my older device seem to be no longer available. I have loaded my own POIs (geocaches) but cannot work out how to view them on a map when I am driving. In addition an audible warning of when I am close to a POI was available on my earlier device. Has anybody worked out how to achieve this basic functionality. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Working with ov2 files? Use GSAK? There's a nice macro by Big Wolf. Audible warning? Nope. TomTom knocked that on the head... Too many people loading 'other' speed camera databases. Quote Link to comment

+Nutty_and_Evil Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Luckily some models still allow you to modify POI's, add warnings etc I stood and went through all of the models in Halfords before I decided which model did what I wanted The Via 135 allows you to mod the Points of interest Quote Link to comment
+wigglesworth Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 To clarify. The GO 51 supports the loading of POIs which I download via GSAK. You can then navigate to individual POIs (caches). The tomtom forum has confirmed that you cannot: add a specific icon; view the POIs on the map receive an audible warning My VIA 135 had all these functions but the screen input no longer works when the device becomes warm. The new VIA products also do n ot appear to support POIs. Perhaps I need to look at other manufacturers for the level of POI support I require for caching. Will the Garmin Nuvi meet my requirements?
