Creating and Downloading
Predefined POIs (My POIs)
In addition to the POIs already
stored in the infotainment system,
predefined POIs can be created.
While creating a predefined POI, the
GPS coordinates for longitude and
latitude of the POI's location and a
descriptive name will need to be
entered.
After creating the predefined POIs,
they can be downloaded to the
infotainment system from a USB
device.
Once downloaded, the POI data
becomes a selectable destination in
the My POIs menu.
Creating a Text File with
Information
Create a text file by using a simple
text editor software. Save this file
with a name and extension of .csv,
for example,
“
TomsPOI.csv.
”
Enter the POI information into the
text file in the following format:
.
Longitude coordinate, Latitude
coordinate, "Name of POI",
"Additional information", "Phone
number."
Example: 7.0350000,
50.6318040, "Michaels Home",
"123 Maple Lane",
"02379234567."
.
The GPS coordinates must be
expressed in decimal degrees
and can be taken from a
geographical map. The
additional information and phone
number strings are optional.
.
The POI name and the
additional information string may
not exceed 60 characters.
.
POI information for each
destination address must be
entered in a single separate line.
Storing the POI on a USB Drive
In the root directory of a USB
device, create a folder name
“
myPOIs,
”
for example,
“
F:\
”
is the
root directory of the USB drive.
In the
“
myPOIs
”
folder, store the text
file with your POIs, for example,
“
F:
\myPOIs\TomsPOIs.csv.
”
Downloading the POI to the
Infotainment System
Connect the USB device containing
the POI information to the USB port
of the infotainment system.
A message displays prompting
whether or not to download the POI
information from the USB device. All
POIs found are saved even if they
are in multiple folders.
Subfolders can also be created to
organise the POIs into categories,
for example,
“
F:\myPOIs
\Restaurants\TomsPOIs.csv.
”
If the message is dismissed or
ignored, no POI information is
downloaded. This prompt will not
recur for the current ignition cycle.
When the system is finished
downloading, a pop-up displays
asking to specify a category for the
new POIs, if desired.
