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, suchuser defined POIs can be
downloaded to the Infotainment
system.
For each POI, you must 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 51.
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) must 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.
The GPS coordinates must be expressed in decimal degrees and
can be taken, e.g., from a
topographical map.

Navigation51The additional information and phone
number strings are optional. If, e.g.,
no additional information is required,
"" must 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
