storing the text file. Otherwise the
POI data may not be imported
correctly to the system.

"02379234567" , see illustration
above.
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,
"" must be entered at the respective

e.g. "F:\myPOIs", where "F:\" is the root directory of the USB device.
In the "myPOIs" folder, store the text
file with your POIs, e.g. "F:\myPOIs
\TomsPOIs.poi".
