Custom POIs
The Custom POIs (Points of Interest) application allows you to create or import your own POI files. These are
called custom POIs. Unlike preinstalled POIs, custom POIs can be removed from your Mio and can have audio
as well as visual alerts associated with them.
To create your POI files, open Microsoft Excel and then enter the POI location details (including Longitude,
Latitude, Name, and Description) in separate cells. Always use decimal degrees for coordinates and start a new
location from a new line. When done, click File
Save As to save it as a *.csv file. Now you have successfully
created a POI CSV file. The following displays the example of creating the POI file by using Microsoft Excel:
Various POI files are available for download free or by subscription from third-party websites. Ensure that
downloaded files are in .csv (Comma Separated Values) format. Mio is not responsible for the content or
accuracy of the information or the reliability or availability of these websites. The use of information regarding
safety camera locations may be subject to local laws in the country of use. You are responsible for checking
that you can use the information in your country or in the country where the information will be used.
