.In order to save the user-defined
points of interest data, a USB
mass storage device is required.
The user-defined points of
interest data cannot be saved on
the SD card that contains the
navigation data.
. User-defined points of interest
are not shown in the map
representation.
. The system recognizes the
user-defined POI data and then
displays a pop-up message to
ask whether the data needs to
be downloaded into the system.
. If the download is confirmed, the
available user POIs in the
system internal memory will be
deleted and the new ones in the
USB mass storage device will be
downloaded into the internal
memory of the system.
. The progress of the download is
shown by a progress bar. When
the download is finished, the
system indicates that the USB
mass storage device can be
removed. Creating User-Defined Points of

. Name
. Location/Folder to save
. File name
POI data can be downloaded from
the Internet or created in a simple
text editor in Comma Separated
Values (CSV) file format.
There are two kinds of POI data
supported by the system:
. User POIs –user-defined points
of interest (POIs) that can later
be set as a destination and
found using route guidance.
. POI-Warnings –user-supplied
areas such as hazard spots that
the system displays in a pop-up
window when the vehicle is
approaching the
designated area. To create your own User POIs:
1. Connect a USB mass storage device to your personal
computer.
2. Use a standard software program to create a list of
POIs. Make sure the software
can support the CSV file
format.
3. In the first column, enter the longitude value of the position
of the POI.
4. In the second column, enter the latitude value of the
position of the POI.
5. In the third column, enter the name of the POI. Information
entered in the fourth column,
such as address or phone
number, will be appended to
the name of the POI.
6. Add more rows if necessary.

7. Save the file with the extension.csv. For example:
myplacesfile.csv.
The name of the .csv file will
be used to create a My Points
of Interest category in the
system. Create separate .csv
files with different names to
create other My Points of
Interest categories.
8. Make sure to select the USB mass storage device as the
location to save, using the
exact folder name “/myPOIs”
for the User POIs or “/myPOIs/
myPOIwarnings.”
For POI-warnings, if the USB
mass storage device’s root
folder is represented by f:/,
save the file to the folder “f:/my
POIs” for User POIs or the
folder “f:/myPOIs/
myPOIwarnings.”
9. For POI-warnings, connect the USB mass storage device to
the vehicle’ s USB port. Adding User-Defined Points of
Interest (POIs)
To add your User POIs to the
system:
1. Press NAV on the center stack.
2. Touch Next Page.
3. Touch My Points of Interest.
4. If a USB mass storage device with the new POI data is
connected, the system will
automatically ask if you want to
transfer the POI data. Touch
Download to begin the transfer
or Cancel to cancel the
procedure.
New POI data will overwrite
POI data already in the internal
memory. 5. The POI data on the USB
mass storage device is
transferred to the vehicle.
A maximum of 8 MB of POI
data can be added to the
system.
6. Once the download process is complete, the available POIs
are showing in a list on the
display.
7. Touch the name of a POI on the list to set it as the
destination.
8. Touch Start to calculate the route.
A user-defined POI in the My Points
of Interest database can also be set

2. Touch Next Page.
3. Touch My Points of Interest.
4. Touch the name of the user-defined POI to set that
entry as a destination.
