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:
