Setting warnings for POIs

You can set a warning sound or message to be played or displayed when you approach a selected
type of POI, such as a petrol station.
The following example will show how to set a warning sound to be played when you are 250 me-
tres from a petrol station.
1. Tap Manage POIs or Warn when near POI in the Settings menu.
2. Scroll down the list and tap Petrol station.
Tip: To remove a warning, tap on the category name and then tap Yes. POI categories which
have been set with a warning have a sound symbol next to the category name.
3. Set the distance as 250 metres and tap OK.
4. Select Sound effect and then tap Next.
5. Select the warning sound for the POI and then tap Next.
6. If you only want to hear the warning when the POI is directly on a planned route, select Warn
only if POI is on route. Then tap Done.
The warning is set for the selected POI category. You will hear a warning sound when you are
250 metres from a petrol station on your route.

Manage POIs

Tap Manage POIs to manage your POI categories and locations.
You can set your TomTom device to let you know when you are near to selected POI locations. In
this way you could, for example, set the device to let you know you when you are approaching a

all your friends' addresses as POIs in this new category.
