About TomTom POI (.ov2)

OV2 is TomTom's binary point-of-interest overlay format — a flat list of named coordinates, not a route or track. Loaded onto TomTom navigation devices as a custom POI set.

About GPX (.gpx)

GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an open XML format for waypoints, tracks and routes, with optional time, elevation and extension fields. It's the universal GPS interchange format — read and written by Garmin Connect, Google Earth, OsmAnd, Strava, komoot and nearly every GPS app or device made since 2004.
