Creating user-defined points of interest (POIs) 1 ᮀ 2 ᮀ 3 ᮀ 4 ᮀ 5 ᮀ Perform the following procedure 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). NOTE: 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. Longitude Latitude Name Location/Folder to save File name POI data can be downloaded from the Internet or created in a simple text editor in CSV (Comma Separated Values) file format. There are two kinds of POI data supported by the system: ● User POIs - user-defined points of interest (POI) 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.
