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

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.

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)

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:
