    Favourite  
    Tap this button to create a POI from a Favourite. 
    You might want to create a POI from a Favourite because you can only 
    create a limited number of Favourites. If you want to create more Favour-
    ites you need to delete some Favourites. To avoid losing a Favourite, 
    save the location as a POI before you delete the Favourite. 
     
    Address  
    Tap this button to enter an address as a new POI. 
    When you enter an address, you can choose from four options.

    recently used as destinations.

    restaurants, use this option instead of entering the addresses of the 
    restaurants.

    Tap this button to add your current location as a POI.

    shops and businesses in and around your current location. 
    You can choose to search for shops and businesses near you, near your 
    destination, near any other destination or in a city. 
    For example, if you are looking for a swimming pool near your current 
    location, enter swimming pool and choose the best search result.

    5. Tap the arrow button to expand the list of POI categories. 
    Tip: If you already know the name of the POI you want to use, you can tap Search by name 
    to enter the name and select this location. 
    6. Scroll down the list and tap Car park. 
    7. The car park closest to the city centre is shown at the top of the list. 
    8. The following list explains the distances shown next to each POI. How the distance is meas-
    ured varies depending on how you initially searched for the POI: 
     POI near you - distance from your current location 
     POI in city - distance from the city centre 
     POI near Home - distance from your Home location 
     POI along route - distance from your current location 
     POI near destination - distance from your destination 
    9. Tap the name of the car park you want to use and tap Done when the route has been calcu-
    lated. 
    Your device starts to guide you to the car park.

    The types of POI you have selected are shown as symbols on the map.  
    Calling a POI 
    Note: Hands-free calling is not supported on all navigation devices. 
    Many of the POIs on your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 LIVE device include phone numbers. This means 
    that if your device supports hands-free calling, you can use your device to call the POI as well as 
    planning a route to the location of the POI. 
    For example, you can search for a cinema, call to book a ticket and plan a route to the cinema, and 
    all using your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 device. 
    1. Tap the phone button in the Driving View. 
    If the button is not visible in the Driving View, tap Make your own menu in the Settings menu 
    and select Call... to display the button in the Driving View. 
    2. Tap Point of Interest. 
    3. Select how you want to search for the POI. 
    For example, if you want to search for a POI on your route, tap POI along route. 
    4. Tap the type of POI you want to call. 
    For example, if you want to call a cinema to reserve a ticket, tap Cinema and then select the 
    name of the cinema you want to call. Then tap Call or Dial to make the phone call. 
    Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 device uses your mobile phone to call the POI.  
    Setting warnings for POIs 
    You can set a warning sound to be played 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 
    metres from a petrol station. 
    1. Tap Manage POIs and then 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 Blue&Me-TomTom 2 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 petrol station. 
    You can create your own POI categories and add your own POI locations to these categories. 
    This means you can, for example, create a new POI category called Friends. You could then add 
    all your friends addresses as POIs in this new category. 
    Tap the following buttons to create and maintain your own POIs: 
     Add POI - tap this button to add a location to one of your own POI categories.
