Tomtom uses the same teleatlas maps as Sendero so that should be the choice.
However, the Tom Tom product does not always show the same POIs as Sendero.
It only shows those in some categories. At least this is what we have found
with my wife's Tom Tom machine.

Hi Steve I have set my virtual to your street and amazing I get the same.
I wonder if this is a file problem the europe must think about it. I 
have tom tom and navigon on my iphone and also blind square wonder if 
I can set a virtual in any of these to see what other pois we should 
have. I kept an older copy of the maps on my laptop but I think the 
apex 2013 would not run  on the older maps. wonder what the problem 
is but it is strange on your pc program you get the same.
thanks for pointing this out.
