First, if you have the App installed in your iPhone, please remove it.
Second, on your computer, go to Control panel and select, 'Folder Options'
Select, 'Do not show hidden files and folders'
and remove the 'Hide extensions for known file types'
Open iTunes and navigate to the applications folder. Locate your TomTom App. Back up this file before proceeding.
Right Click the App and select 'Show in Windows Explorer'
This will show you the file.IPA in windows explorer
Next, you need to rename the file. At the end of the file, add '.zip' and hit enter.
You will get this warning:
Select 'Yes'
You will notice the icon changed from the iTunes icon to a zip file.
Double click the zip file and navigate to:
Payload
>US-Canada.app
You will see this
You will notice the North America folder and voices folder.
The North America folder is where you place your custom POI files (.bmp & .ov2)
The voices folder is where you will include your custom voices (.chk & .vif)
INSTALL CUSTOM POIs
Navigate to the 'North America' folder
copy any custom POIs you have and paste it into this directory.
It will take some time to copy over because of the compressing.
Once your POI files are copied you will see them in the directory
INSTALL CUSTOM VOICES
Navigate to the 'voices' folder
You will see the list of installed voices.
You cannot add extra voices! You can only replace the existing voices with custom ones.
Follow this list to know what voice each data file is:

rename the custom file to the one you want to replace. I recommend you back up the file you are replacing.
FINALIZATION
Once you are done customizing, navigate back to the 'Mobile Applications' folder.
Rename the APP file from the zip you created back to the original extension: '.ipa by removing the '.zip' and hit enter.
The icon will return back to the iTunes icon.
Connect your iPhone to your computer, select your iPhone device and then scroll to the 'Applications' tab.
Make sure the TomTom App is check or select the option
I suggest before syncing to place your phone into flight mode. This will block any text or incoming call that can interrupt the long installation. To place your iPhone in flight mode: navigate to settings and select 'Airplane Mode' as ON.
Then select ' Apply ' on the bottom right to sync the App.
Open your TomTom App to make sure it installed correctly.
I only installed a custom POI so to check this I went to:
Change Settings>Map>POI Types and the custom POI was listed:
As of right now, you cannot add your favorites (MapSettings.cfg) without jailbreaking. The directory to add the favorites is created once it has been installed. It is not placed in the main 'US-Canada.app' directory.
