I downloaded the .BMP and .OV2 Along with .OGG for my One XL-S.
In addition, can I download the extended info file AND the enlarged Icon or Do I need to choose between .BMP and Enlarged Icon File?
ie. There are four files listed as an example below, typically...
BMP
OV2
Extended Info
Enlarged Icon
Which two or three or four can I download without duplicating or making a mess out of my screen?
Also-
As I download some celebrity voices, some of the files have the same name as existing files. I cannot 'rename' the file, it seems. The previous file (voice) is removed in this case.
Any Help?

Well, depend on your needs.. 
1) IF, you don't want to make mess on you card I would recommend you to download only BMP and OV2 (that's enough 4 appropriate tracking of POI)
2) If you don't care about space and "mess" on your SD than you can download BMP, Extended OV2 and enlarged Icon..
I personally using just extended OV2 and BMP (don't like poping enlarged icon up..)

thanks for your information!
quick question, what's the difference between the standard and extended?
so what about the OGG audio alerts? where would you install them?
Thanks!!

ogg files go into the same folder as your POIs.
just make sure the name of the corresponding ogg & POI files is the same (apart from the .ogg & .ov suffixes of course).

I'm also wondering what's the difference between the two below as they have the same filename. Is the extended version better?
TomTom POI OV2 TomTom
TomTom POI (Custom POI with extended info)

I believe the extended version contains member-submitted updates... perhaps someone else can confirm that?
Also, if you have a problem with your device recognising the .ogg files, they can be copied to the 'sounds' directory and then you can manually enable them by assigning a warning sound to the POI category.

Some times there is no difference but you can't have both versions since they have the same file name.
Sometimes the extended information will include things like phone numbers.
You can use GPS Tools to convert an OV2 file to a comma delimited and then view the differences yourself, add an X for extended when you save the extended version.
You can even do some editing With POI Editor it's OV2 and comma delimited format and when you all done use POI Tools to convert it back to an OV2.
File names must be the same, only extensions change, ie:
_MY_POI.OV2
_MY_POI.BMP
_MY_POI.OGG
Put an underscore in the filename so it's always top of the list.
