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 either a
USB stick or SD card.
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 drive,
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 drive or SD card
containing the POI information to
the USB port or SD card slot of the
infotainment system. A message
displays prompting whether or not to
download the POI information from
the USB stick. All POIs found are
saved even if they are in multiple
folders.
Subfolders can also be created to
organize 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
reoccur 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.
Importing and Overwriting
Categories
When POIs are found on a media
device, the date of the file is
examined and compared to the date
