tt 730 POI
Hi
When I got my 730 I immediately set of to collect a friend at a Wilsons of Rathkenny a garage at a crossroads near Ballymena and about 40 miles from home. It seemed to have the garage in memory but took me to crossroads about 8 miles away from it. I'm not sure what I did as I was late and in a bit of a panic and very unfamiliar with the TT but now when I tap, "Navigate to a POI. " The next screen gives the following 5 alternatives. Near you, In city, Near home,Along route, and Wilsons of Rathkenny sstn I can't find any way of deleting it. Unfortunately I didn't do a backup until I got home so that isn't an option "Delete a POI" and "Delete a POI category" are both greyed out. Any help would be appreciated as I've tried for hours and this is driving me crazy. Thanks Ronnie

Do you want to delete the POI thats in the main category ( Car garages ) or on the screen "Navigate To?" If its the POI on the Navigate To screen, then this is just a recent one, once you select somewhere else it should vanish. HTH

Makes me feel pretty stupid :-) Is it possible to alter the position of that garage or is it just a matter of submitting an error to TT share? Thanks again, Ronnie

If its a Tomtom category POI, then i think you can change it, ( under Map Corrections ) on a T730 but cannot be sure of this as its something i dont use. I personally use a created POI file which i can change and update at my wish, i have a very large one for garages and petrol stations. Admittedly i did look to see if i could find a wilsons, but the nearest was in Drogheda, so i dont think thats the one? Sadly i think it might be a bit limited to ROI POIs. Regards Alex
