If you go here http://www.poidownload.co.uk/poi/index.php you will see the site is for downloading POI's. The files are in .csv format and have to be converted to .ov2 format for TT's.

If you look at the bottom 'How to Use', you will see it says 'download a tool here'.

This should solve your problem.
