Once at the top without the icon, and with an empty set of pois and once further down in the list but correctly populated and with the right icon. How do I make that false one go away?

However, you can make your own POI sets if you're interested. The folks at www.tomtomforums.com are a great resource for downloading and installing 'homebrew' POI sets. Keep in mind, they aren't affiliated with TomTom, but they're a great bunch of enthusiasts! There’s no POI update yet. However, you can make your own POI sets if

I live in Tennessee. I love my tom tom, but in my travels I have found that not many Interstate highway rest areas are in the POI's. Is there an update available or somewhere I could go to access more of these? Thanks. I have a tomtom One. I live in Tennessee.
