Author How can I use *.ov2 files (TomTom POI) in TomTom v5 on a Symbian Nokia 2nd generation?

Dear Listeners:

I have a list of waypoints made in Mapsource and with my Garmin GPSmap 60
CSx. I exported them to *.gpx and from then vai GPS Babel to *.ov2 (POI for
TomTom).

I have a Nokia Symbian 2nd generation phone (6680) with TomTom 5 + external
TomTom Sirf III GPS receiver, just working fine.

Now I'd like very much to use the waypoints in TomTom, too. In which folder
on the Nokia should the *.ov2 file go, and do I need to do
more to be able to see/use the waypoints/POIs?

TIA for any hints.

Copy the .ov2 file in the map's directory, and you will be able to use
it.
