Recalling a POI Category or Chain

If a POI category or chain favorite is recalled, the system displays a list of matching results defaulting to Nearby, but allows a search of other locations. Press the Search Options button to specify a different location.

Creating and Downloading Predefined POIs (My POIs)

In addition to the POIs already stored in the infotainment system, predefined POIs can be created.

While creating a predefined POI, the GPS coordinates for longitude and latitude of the POI’s location and a descriptive name will need to be entered.

After creating the predefined POIs, they can be downloaded to the infotainment system from either a USB stick or SD card.

Once downloaded, the POI data becomes a selectable destination in the My POIs menu.

Creating a Text File with

Information

Create a text file by using a simple text editor software. Save this file with a name and extension of .csv, for example, “TomsPOI.csv.”

Enter the POI information 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,” “123 Maple Lane,” “02379234567.”

.The GPS coordinates must be expressed in decimal degrees and can be taken from a geographical map. The additional information and phone number strings are optional.

.The POI name and the additional information string may not exceed 60 characters.

.POI information for each destination address must be entered in a single separate line.

Storing the POI on a USB Drive

In the root directory of a USB drive, create a folder name “myPOIs”; for example, “F:\” is the root directory of the USB drive.

In the “myPOIs” folder, store the text file with your POIs; for example, “F:\myPOIs\TomsPOIs.csv.”

Downloading the POI to the Infotainment System

Connect the USB drive or SD card containing the POI information to the USB port or SD card slot of the infotainment system. A message displays prompting whether or not to download the POI information from the USB stick. All POIs found are saved even if they are in multiple folders.

Subfolders can also be created to organize the POIs into categories; for example, “F:\myPOIs\ Restaurants\TomsPOIs.csv.”
