Tomtom GO 51 - displaying cache POIs


Recommended Posts

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.

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?
