I think you will find the LR SatNav a disappointment compared with TomTom - I certainly do.
I use TomTom in preference to the LF product every time.
NJSSAm I Gammon or Woke ? - I neither know nor care.
2016 Discovery 4 Landmark
2011 Mercedes Benz SL350 (R230)
1973 MG B GT V8 - 3.9L John Eales engine, 5 speed R380 gearbox, since 1975.
1959 MGA roadster - 1.9L Peter Burgess Engine - 5 speed gearbox
Past LRs - Multiple FFRs, Discos & a Series I - some petrol, some diesel,
none Electric or H2 fuel cell - yet.
There are 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

DG posted a video demo of the GPX POIs on his MY13. Not used it myself but I understand you can use this tool to convert OV2 files into GPX format to be D4 friendly:

The 2013MY sat nav is far superior to older versions and it's much neater and less hassle than having a portable unit hanging off your windscreen ....so I wouldn't be so ready to right it off
Steve it can be done but you will need to convert your files to .gpx format for them to work on the LR system.
Here is an example of my first upload of speed cameras ...but since then I have added lots more...they work very well

Thanks for the link, I have come across this site, so far not had much luck with it. I suppose I just need to persevere with it.
DG - I have seen your YouTube video, thats what gave me the inspiration, to think that it was possible

Now that I have my D4 I have been able to put some of my POI off my Tom Tom onto the D4 unit
My next question.
I have only transfered a small amount of locations so far, about 250. When I come to do a search, the list of locations seems to start from thoses closest to my current location, can this list be put in alphabetical or numerical order ?
