The ov2 file extension is associated with TomTom Navigator, GPS navigation software from TomTom for Windows Mobile, Windows CE and iOS devices.
An ov2 file contains a collection of points of interest and their coordinates. The data can represent places such as businesses, services or other marked locations that appear on the Navigator map.
OV2 is a legacy TomTom POI format associated mainly with older versions of TomTom Navigator. GPSBabel supports the format on macOS, Linux and Windows, and GPSMapEdit supports it on Windows.
Use TomTom Navigator with a compatible map to use an .ov2 point-of-interest file. On a desktop computer, GPSBabel can read the file on macOS, Linux and Windows, while GPSMapEdit can open it on Windows.
These desktop programs are useful for inspecting or editing the POI data when TomTom Navigator is not available.
GPSBabel can convert an .ov2 file to and from other supported GPS waypoint and POI formats on macOS, Linux and Windows. GPSMapEdit can also provide conversion options on Windows.
Conversion transfers the locations and their associated names where the target format supports them. The resulting file may need to be placed in the appropriate TomTom map folder to be used by compatible Navigator software.

The ov2 file extension is associated with DOS overlay files. When running in a 640K MS-DOS machine, all program code may not fit into available memory at the same time.
To overcome this memory limitation, most large programs use overlays. An overlay is a portion of the program code that shares memory for its code with other code modules. (part of program to be loaded when needed), program code for DOS.
