When you have finished creating your POI set, it should consist of the following files:
| • | my_poi_set.ov2 (required) |
| • | my_poi_set.bmp file (optional but recommended) |
| • | my_poi_set_x2.bmp file (optional) |
| • | my_poi_set.ogg file (optional) |
| • | my_poi_set.ver (recommended) |
Retrieving a POI set from a device
If you created your POI set on a device, you will need to retrieve those files:
| 1. | Connect your device to TomTom HOME. |
| 2. | Select Copy to computer from the main menu. |
| 3. | Select your POI set(s) and click Copy items to computer. |
| 4. | Open the folder on your computer to which the files have been copied. |
Note: You can configure the folder that the files are copied to by clicking Folder Preferences in the Preferences menu in TomTom HOME.
| 5. | Copy your POI set files to a convenient location. |
Note: If you wish to retrieve the files from your device manually, without using TomTom HOME, you will find them in the map folder on your device.
Creating a compressed folder
To make your POI set available to others from your web site using TomTom HOME, you first have to put the file(s) in a compressed folder. Create a .zip file containing your POI set files.
Next step: Decide where to host your POI set.
