TOMTOMFREE.COM uses a very simple file retrieval system. This is to allow as many users as possible to benefit from our downloads without technical difficulties.

Unfortunately we cannot test every system and the setup of every browser type. If for some reason your web browser prevents you from downloading the .ZIP files then you will have to change the browsers settings to download the files.

Some software firewalls on PC' will warn you when you try and download a .ZIP file because they can contain viruses. Some may also prevent you from downloading the files. If this is the case then please refer to your firewalls documentation and setup.

A firewall may warn you when you download a .ZIP file from an un-trusted source or website. In this case we are a trusted source and we guarantee that our .ZIP files contain no viruses. Our files also don't contain any programs that can be activated as you are only downloading tomtom data files.

HOW TO INSTALL THE POI FILES

NEWS

The POI files here have recently been extensively updated along with the rest of our data sets. We went back to primary data providers and verified details. The CD ROM that we sell (see box to right) contains all of the POIs here as well as many more we don't publish. Plus they are all easy to use, don't require unzipping and you can download or buy them on CD ROM.

We also create special POI sets for business to use - to ensure that their customers and partners can find locations. For info on this please see our group website www.landis-media.co.uk If you haven't downloaded tomtom HOME yet (it works for all tomtom's other than PDA's) then you should. The main advantage is that you can update your software to version 6 - and that increases POI limit up from the 29 up to 100 - a much more sensible number.

Some of you may notice that the number of POI we supply here on the site has been reduced. We have been concentrating on trying to improve POI quality overall and therefore to push the CD ROM that we sell (for a very reasonable price). We think that the POI below provide a fair reflection of what the disk contains.

We are also working on a much more targeted set of data to complement the new TomTom devices, with their increased capabilities.

London Underground

This POI file has all of the London Underground Stations shown ready for you to use. We have also added the over ground stations shown on the tube map. With multi entry tube stations (like Bank) we also have them listed out. An essential download for your trips in the capital.

ASDA

This POI file features in or Supermarket collected POI file as one of a number of brands. It has been revisited and updated again, with extra stores. On the disk we have M&S, Morrisons, Tesco, Waitrose, Somerfield, Sainsburys etc

Pubs

Here is a list of well known Pubs where the beer is kept in good condition, service is friendly and the facilities are good. We also have a High quality Pubs and a Gastro Pubs on the POI disk we sell. Those are very popular.

Motorway Services

This file will also be included in our Motorway and Travel Collection. We have re-checked this again and linked the file to sensible entry points to the services. On the disk we have the shops inside the services like M&S and so on.

National Trust

Here is the one that everyone wants - and its yours for FREE ! On the disk that we sell - we also have English Heritage, Brochs, Munros, Iron Age Settlements, Castles (over 4000), Roman Sites, Archaeological digs and so on. If you like old houses you need the disk.

Passenger Airports

This file is also included as part of the transport feature collection. We included it here because its just so frustrating that the tomtom doesn't have airports well covered. We also have on the disk we sell major car parks including Airport parking.

BP Fuel Stations

This is one of the many brands that we have and is also part of the collection. On the disk we sell we also have ESSO, SHELL, Q8, MURCO, National, Texaco, ASDA, TESCO, Morrisons etc. Indeed we have a very complete collection of petrol stations.

Gyms & Health clubs

This file was included so that you can see that we have some sports related POIs. On the disk we also have Rugby clubs, football clubs, swimming pools, leisure centres, golf courses, driving ranges, and so on.

Independent

Camping Shops

A hard choice this one - but it represents what we have on the disk well. We have camping and caravan sites C&C and CC - both types. We have caravan spares shop's, camping shops, Blacks and so on.

LPG - with forecourts

This POI file will help those with LPG enabled cars to locate a garage with ease. We have on the disk we sell the other which is UK LPG no forecourt.

Wetherspoons

Wetherspoons we all know and love. Well we have all sorts of pubs on the disk we sell. We just thought that as this is very popular we would put it up on the site for free. The curries they do are very good value - especially for a lunch.

Driving Ranges

We put this on top show some more sport. On the disk we sell we have a full set of Golf Courses & Clubs, as well as Gold Centres. So if you play golf already or are thinking of taking it up, you cant do better than buying the disk.

Premier Travel Inn

Part of a large chain of hotels throughout the UK. They provide an economic place to stay the night if you are out and about. A lot of salespeople use these POI and we have all major economy and luxury chains on the CD ROM disc we sell.

Homebase

This file is also of course in the collections. We also have Wickes, B&Q, Focus, Do It all, Habitat, Fired Earth, Travis Perkins and so on. We thought this was the best compromise and that B&Q was too well trodden. If you want B&Q then please get the disk.

Jewson

The well know building supply merchants. They don't seem to advertise on television any more, the catchphrase was "we've got the Jewson lot". Well they still stock building materials and are a useful source of goods.

Methodist Churches

Just to show there's no bias we pout up Methodist churches. This is a great POI set from Peter Howarth and very thankful we are for it. As churches are often coded to the vicars home address and not the church itself. A handy guide for all Methodists.
