Locations, categories, or a particular
POI chain ID can be saved as
Favorites in the POIs view.
Press and drag up on the row of
Interaction Selector buttons to
reveal the Favorite buttons.
Press and hold on a favorite
location, then press on the category
to be saved. Whenever a set of
POIs is grouped, as in a category or
a set of POIs that all belong to the
same chain ID, the whole category
or chain ID is saved in the favorites
for recall. POIs are only grouped by
chain when the sorting order is
Alphabetical.
A POI search can also be saved as
a Favorite. While in the POI search
keyboard view, press and hold on a
favorite location and the text that is
currently typed in the keyboard will
be saved.
Press the Sort button to change the
sorting order.
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 Near
button to specify a different location.
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.
Create a text file by using a simple
text editor software. Save this file
with a name and extension of .csv,
.e.g. 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.
