Exporting and importing POI data
Introductory explanationsTypes of POI data
The Infotainment system provides the following types of points of interest
data:
■ Predefined Points of Interest stored
on the map SD card and indicated
by icons on the map display.You can store such predefined
POIs in the address book or as
individual POIs in the myPOIs
memory of the Infotainment
system, see below.
■ Favourite destination addresses that were stored in the Address
book .
You can export these address book
data to a USB drive for later use,
e.g., in other vehicles.
■ Individual POIs : favourite
destination addresses that were
stored in the myPOIs memory.
You can export these individual
POI data to a USB drive for later
use, e.g., in other vehicles.
■ User defined POIs : favourite
destination addresses that you
defined via GPS coordinates
(taken, e.g., from a topographical
map) and that you entered into text files.
You can store these user defined
POI data on a USB drive and later
import the data to the myPOIsmemory of the Infotainment
system, see below.
■ Imported POIs : favourite
destination addresses that were
previously stored on a USB drive
and then imported to the myPOIs
memory of the Infotainment
system.Advantages of POI export and import The export and import of points of
interest data offer you, e.g., the
following advantages:
■ Define and store your favourite destination addresses only once,
and later use these address data in
other vehicles.
See "Exporting and importing
individual POIs and address book
entries" below.
■ Define your favourite destination addresses conveniently at home,
and later use them in your vehicle.
See "Creating and importing user
defined POIs" below.
■ Clearly arrange a large amount of destination addresses, e.g.,
favourite destination addresses of
112Navigation
other family members or
destination addresses for your next journey or business trip in separate
submenus.
See "Organizing the POI data in
several subfolders" below.
Exporting and importing individual
POIs and address book entriesBrief description:
1. Connect a USB drive to the USB port of your vehicle's Infotainmentsystem.
2. Store (export) your favourite destination addresses on the USBdrive.
3. Connect the USB drive to the USB
port of a vehicle equipped with a
Navi 600 or Navi 900 system.
4. Download (import) the address data to the vehicle's Infotainment
system.
After the import, the addresses can
be selected as destinations for route
guidance.
Detailed descriptions see below.Exporting POI data to a USB drive
Connect a USB drive to the USB port of the Infotainment system, see
chapter "USB port" 3 100.
Press the CONFIG button, select
Navigation settings and then select
Export POIs .
The Export POIs menu is displayed.
By default all individual POIs stored in
the myPOIs memory and all address
book entries will be exported.
If desired, deselect the address data
types that you do not want to be
exported.
Select Start export to store the
address data of the selected type(s)
on the connected USB drive.
The address data will be stored in a
folder named myPOIs that is located
in the root directory of the USB drive.
For each exported POI category, e.g.
Restaurant or Private , you will find a
correspondingly named file in that
folder.
Examples:
F:\myPOIs\Restaurant_3.poi or
F:\myPOIs\Private_1.poi , where F:\ is
the root directory of the USB drive.
Notice
If files with POI data of the same
category are already stored on the
USB drive in the myPOIs folder,
these old file versions will be
overwritten by equally named new
file versions.
The folder myPOIs and the files with
POI data should not be renamed or
moved into another folder on the
USB drive. Otherwise the
Infotainment system will not be able
to import the address data again.
Navigation113
Importing POI data from a USB drive
Connect a USB drive with POI data
stored on it (details see above) to the
USB port of the Infotainment system,
see chapter "USB port" 3 100.
To start the import: press the
CONFIG button, select Navigation
settings , select Import individual
POIs and then select Continue.
All POI data stored on the USB drive
is imported to the myPOIs memory of the Infotainment system.
After the import is finished, the
imported POIs are selectable as
destinations via the Enter
destination menu, see chapter
"Destination input" 3 115.
Creating and importing user defined
POIs
User defined points of interest need
to be defined via GPS coordinates
that can be taken, e.g., from a
topographical map.
The GPS coordinates and further
address data need to be entered into
text files, each file representing a POI category.Brief description: 1. Create the text files for the POI data.
2. Enter the desired address data into the text files.
3. Store the text files with your POI data on a USB drive.
4. Connect the USB drive to the USB
port of your vehicle's Infotainment system.
5. Download (import) the text files with your POI data to the
Infotainment system.
After the import, the addresses can
be selected as destinations for route
guidance.
Detailed descriptions see below.Creating the text files for POI data
You can assign your favourite
destination addresses to 20 different
POI categories, with each POI
category assigned a number, see
"POI categories and assigned
numbers" below.
For each POI category you need to create a separate text file.The text files can be created, e.g., by
using a simple text editor software.
Notice
The text editor must support the
UTF-8 character encoding for
Unicode.
Each text file name need to consist of the category name, a single
underscore, the category's number
and the file extension .poi.
Example file names: ■ Business_2.poi
■ Home & Living_8.poi
■ Culture_15.poi
Notice
The length of the text file names is
limited to 32 characters.
POI categories and assigned
numbers:
(1) Private , (2) Business , (3)
Restaurant , (4) Hotel , (5) Automotive ,
(6) Travel , (7) Cinema , (8) Home &
Living , (9) Shopping , (10) Craft, (11)

The image below shows a sample
text file named Home & Living_8.poi
with some sample POI data:
The POI data need to be entered into the text files in the following format:
Longitude coordinate, Latitude
coordinate, "Name of POI", "Any additional information", "Phone
number (optional)"
Example: 7.0350000, 50.6318040,
"Michaels Home", "Bonn - Hellweg 6", "02379234567" , see image above.
The GPS coordinates need to be
expressed in decimal degrees.
The maximum length of the POI name
is 60 characters. The same applies to the additional information string and
the phone number string.
The POI data of each destination
address need to be entered in a single
separate line, see image above.Storing the text files on a USB drive
The text files with POI data need to be
stored in a folder named myPOIs that
is located in the root directory of the
USB drive.
Example: F:\myPOIs\Home &
Living_8.poi , where F:\ is the root
directory of the USB drive.
After importing the individual POI
data to the Infotainment system (see
import description further below), the
Imported POIs menu will show a list
of selectable POI categories like the
following:Organizing the POI data in several
subfolders
Optionally you can organize the text
files in several, arbitrary named,
subfolders.
Examples: F:\myPOIs\AnnsPOIs or
F:\myPOIs\MyJourney , where F:\ is
the root directory of the USB drive.
After importing individual POI data
organized in that way to the
Infotainment system (see import
description further below), the
Imported POIs menu will show a list
of selectable submenus like the
following:

After selecting a submenu, the
related list of imported POI categories
