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.
Once downloaded, the POI data
becomes a selectable destination in
the My POIs menu.
Creating a Text File with

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:

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 Device
In the root directory of a USB
device, create a folder name
myPOIs, for example, F:\ is the
root directory of the USB device.
