@ HansGans09,
If you found a way to install personal POI's in to TOMTOM NDS please spell out when you put the .OV2 files.
What version of Android are you using?
Then show them on the map.
You show a blank map with no POI's to be seen.
If you say you have custom POI's installed they should show on the map all the time.
But I do not see any at all.
OR are these the POI'S that can with the maps you downloaded from the TomTom server???
Please give full details of everything you have done.

The blank card was only for the instructions to make the POIs visible
I copy my own POIs and icons directly into their directories.

OK I tested this with Android 6.1
You can see the POI's if you turn them on.
But that has always been the case with that version of Android.
But not with Android 8 or 9 Do not have 10 to test.
You just do not see any folders unless you root your device.
Then these folders are there to see and copy the ov2 files and icons to it.
As I do not have any rooted phones and I do not plan to do and rooting of my phones.
I still see it as a waste since TomTom maps have all the poi's you might need in the first place.Last edited by asprin624; 9th May 2020 at 06:29 PM.

So user's can see the complete folder list.
It is hit an miss as to what smartphones can see these folders with TomTom NDS.
HansGans09 you are lucky you can see all the folders.
There are a lot of user's who can not see any of these folders and I am one of them be it Android 7, 8, 9 and 10.

TomTom must be installed on the external SD in order to see the folders.
It does not work on the internal or on the integrated ext. SD
