Go 620 - How do I find and import POI's?

[clearcomms]

On my previous TomTom I had various POI's available. They included French vineyards, and I sometimes turned that on when wanting to buy wine.
My Go 620 has no POI's installed, and when I check support to find and download them, all the instructions appear to assume they are already on my PC. They are not!
Does TomTom have such files? If I can find them I can probably get them onto my device.
And if TomTom no longer bothers to supply such things, is there somewhere else I can get them?

Here's a location on the web for poi files:
TomTom POI Files (gps-data-team.com)

Select those you want and add them to MyDrive on your computer. Then sync with the MyDrive on the device.

How do you register/login to the data team site? You need a gps just to navigate the site.

The last time I checked, registration on that site was free. Mind you, I haven't checked there in years!

The links on that site go in circles.

If you can give us an idea of what you're looking for, I might be able to supply you with a more direct link.

Here is the main page for US POI categories. Click on one of them. For example, I drilled down one more level and selected a state for all of the McDonalds in Colorado:

Red light and speed cameras. There's are links on the site for red light cameras and speed cameras. There's also a link that combines red light and speed cameras. I'm wondering if it means if it's only a red light camera it's not in that files database? Aside from that I was trying to figure out how to register/login. The links appear to go in circles. I guess if you can figure it out you probably don't need a gps.

They're based out of the Netherlands, so not sure how much updating goes on for speed cameras here.

Most of their POI databases are free, but note that by asking for the 'safety cam' POI, you've hit their registered pay-for-play area, indicated by the "Add to Cart".

I saw the "add to cart" requirement but didn't see a way to add the safety camera poi to a cart. Just links back to select the poi then state or country, that would redirect back to selecting a poi.
