respective "F:\myPOIs", where "F:\" is
the root folder of the USB device.
Notice
This function may only be carried out if a USB device with sufficient
storage space is connected.
Downloading contacts data
You can exchange your vehicle
contacts list data with Infotainment systems in other cars:
To upload the data to a USB device, see "Uploading navigation data to a
USB device" above.
Connect the USB device to the
Infotainment system of another car
3 55.
A message is displayed that prompts
you to confirm the download.
After confirmation, the contacts data

system.
The downloaded contacts are then
selectable via the CONTACTS menu
3 32.Creating and downloading user
defined POIs (My POIs)
In addition to the predefined POIs
already stored in the Infotainment
system, you can create user defined
POIs that meet your personal
requirements. After creation, such
user defined POIs can be
downloaded to the Infotainment
system.
For each POI, you need to define the GPS coordinates (longitude and
latitude values) of the respective
location and a descriptive name.
After downloading the POI data to the
Infotainment system, you will find the
respective POIs as selectable
destinations in the My POIs menu,
see "Selecting a point of interest" in chapter "Destination input" 3 69.
Creating a text file with POI data
Create a text file (e.g. by using a
simple text editor software) with an
arbitrary name and the file
extension .poi, e.g. "TomsPOIs.poi".Notice
Character encoding UTF-8
(Unicode) needs to be selected
when storing the text file. Otherwise
the POI data may not be imported
correctly to the system.
Enter the POI data 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", "Bonn, Hellweg 6",
"02379234567" , see image above.
Page 69 of 143

Navigation69
The GPS coordinates must be
expressed in decimal degrees and can be taken, e.g., from a
topographical map.
The additional information and phone number strings are optional. If, e.g.,
no additional information is required,
"" needs to be entered at the
respective position.
Example:
7.0350000, 50.6318040, "Michaels
Home", "", "02379234567" .
The POI name and the additional
information string may not exceed 60
characters each. The phone number
string may not exceed 30 characters.
The POI data of each destination
address must be entered in a single
separate line, see image above.
Storing the POI data on a USB drive
In the root directory of a USB drive,
create a folder named " myPOIs",
e.g. "F:\myPOIs", where "F:\" is the
root directory of the USB drive.
In the "myPOIs" folder, store the text
file with your POIs, e.g. "F:\myPOIs
\TomsPOIs.poi".Organising the POI data in several subfolders
Optionally you can organise the text
files in several randomly named
subfolders (max. depth of subfolder
structure: 2).
Examples: F:\myPOIs\AnnsPOIs or
F:\myPOIs\MyJourney\London,
where F:\ is the root directory of the USB drive.
Notice
In a folder only subfolders or only POI files may be stored. A mixture of both will not be imported correctly to the system.
After downloading individual POI data
organised in that way to the
Infotainment system (see download
description further below), the My
POIs menu will show a list of
selectable submenus.
After selecting a submenu, further
submenus or the related list of
imported POI categories will be
displayed.Downloading the POI data to the
Infotainment system
Connect the USB device with your
user defined POI data to the USB port
3 55 of the Infotainment system.
A message is displayed that prompts
you to confirm the download.
After confirmation, the POI data will
be downloaded to the Infotainment system.
The downloaded POIs are then
selectable as destinations via the My
POIs menu, see "Selecting a point of
interest" in chapter "Destination input" 3 69.
