Can anyone tell me how to download caravan and camping sites onto my TomTom Via 52
Since it is new , on danger that I mention redundant matter, let's start with step one.
[I do not have a device with an operation system exactly like yours. If you follow a step and do not get the result as suggested, please take a note of it and post what happened.]
I presume you used Home2 to connect your previous device to the PC.
Please download and install MyDrive Connect
https://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/mydrive-connect/
Go to the middle / bottom of page and select the PC with which you will connect.
Install it, open it and use the same eMail address and password you use for the Start 52.
[I trust you have used a different one from you previous device. If not, call Customer Support and have that corrected as map updates are locked in with your serial number and device name (eMail address).]
The MyDive Connect window will open and show the name of your device. Underneath will be a yellow exclamation mark and it will say Not Connected. Also, it will display what updates are available and the expiry of services, if purchased.
Now, plug in your device. It will now say View updates (if updates are offered), accept them and install them.
At the top, next to My Device is says My Content. Click it and you will see the size of your internal storage and its free space
as well as that info for a (micro) SD card, if installed. [Recommend to get a 16GB or 32GB card (difference is little and maps are getting bigger).]
Since your device is ready to accept POI categories install
https://mydrive.tomtom.com/en_gb/ on your PC. Accept when it asks for location since all your planning will be from current location.
On the left, click the 3rd icon from the top and again log in with your user name and password.
Click on it again and under the heading of Favourites you will see all the My Place locations you have on your device, not including Recent Destination or Marked Location.
Good luck.
Finally, click POI FILES and at the bottom of the page you will see IMPORT POI FILE.
Click on it and your PC File Finder will open for you to select the .ov2 file with your POIs.
