FME reads from and writes to TomTom Points of Interest (POI) files.
TomTom POI files are binary files with a fixed schema, which can be imported into TomTom GPS devices.

Reader Overview
FME considers a single TomTom POI file to be a dataset.
Each dataset consists of features with point geometry, and uses the LL84 coordinate system.
Writer Overview
The dataset is the destination filename. The feature type of each dataset is the filename.
The TomTom POI writer will only write data in decimal degrees (WGS84 datum). All features passed to the writer will be reprojected to LL84 (EPSG:4326) if this functionality is licensed. Features with no coordinate system are assumed to be in LL84.
The TomTom POI writer uses a fixed schema.
Note: Unicode attribute writing is not supported. Accented characters are replaced with unaccented equivalents. Other Unicode characters are replaced with “$”.
