How to use TomTom OV2 for Chile
- Copying to the device — connect the TomTom over USB and put the .ov2 into the folder with the map (Russia or Europe, for example); after a restart the set appears in the points of interest menu.
- The icon — put a .bmp with the same name next to the file, otherwise the device will draw the points with the default symbol.
- TomTom MyDrive or HOME — the same files are transferred by the standard application if the device does not mount as a drive.

FAQ: TomTom OV2 for Chile
How to load OV2 onto TomTom?
Copy the file to the device folder via TomTom MyDrive or USB.
Does OV2 support categories?
There is no category inside a record — only coordinates and a name. For TomTom the category is the file itself: the .ov2 name becomes the name of the group in the menu, and the icon is set by a .bmp of the same name next to it. That is why it is more convenient to export points one topic per file.
Where does the point name come from?
From OpenStreetMap tags, in order: name, then name:en, name:ru, title and ref. An object that has none of them does not get into the file — a nameless point is useless in a navigator.
What is that service record at the start of the file?
That is the skipper — a record with a rectangle covering all the points of the set. From it the device immediately sees whether the file falls into the current area and does not read anything unnecessary.
How many points can be loaded?
The limit is on the area (5000 km² for navigation formats), not on the number of records. Devices hold thousands of points, but very large sets noticeably slow down searching in the menu.
