Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Hey Guys I am after some help. I have been able update my maps to V5 from V4.1 using the link that was provided. I forgot to say I am using a D unit with software 3970. That is fine. But I am having problems with the points of interest. I have first tried using a SD card and loading of Ponitsofinterest file and the system when I go into set up and Nav, the my points of interest is greyed out. That is using either V4.1 or V5. I have then tried taken a copy of the Disk I burnt with V5 opening it up and deleting and replaceing the POI file, burning a image of the file using IMGburn. Then burning this image onto a disk.
The unit accepts the disk asks to load and asks if I want to install the maps. It starts nearly finshes then stops right near the end spits out the disk and asks for the nav disk. If I put the disk back it will go through the process of install then spits out saying disk error.
Then I install the normal disk and I am back at stage one.
Can anybody offer any advice or is there a nice person who can offer a V5 disk image withe points of interest in there?

Try first step again (loading the personalPOI.db3 via SD Card).
But delete the previous ones (personalPOI.db3) on your unit's HDD (for good measure).
In a nutshell, we are talking 118 categories & over 45,000 actual POIs.
Give it some time to digest it all. I'd say at least an hour, depending on your unit.
If still greyed out after that ... then reboot your unit and see if it POI button appears.
NOTE:
Until you get the SD card loaded POIs working, there's no point trying the delete & replace POI.db3.
As this POI.db3 file only loads the POIs into the master CATEGORIES (ALPHABETICAL) folder
This is mainly for the unit to include custom POIs in a "POIs near by" search.
In other words, it's the equivalent set I've created to help the RNS510 unit find them.
However the PersonalPOI.db3 file organises these into more logical subfolders under a folder called PERSONAL, to help users find them.Last edited by aussietig; 19-02-2012, 06:52 AM.MY11 Tiguan 147TSI (SOLD)

Thanks for your help FJ Steve.
I have now got the disk out after a couple of goes. I am back to Version 4.1 as I am now too scared to reinstall.
No points of interest as I never got them to work either way.
So after 4 days I am no furtheer then I was before.
I think I will just give up.

Spikeyboy22, the filename and directory structure on the SD card must be perfect, otherwise the RNS-510 won't recognize the .db3 file, and hence the button will remain grey. I fell for this. I ended up exporting directly from poiinspector to SD card and then it worked fine.
I think the structure on the SD card has to be,

Have updated most of my POI categories (especially cameras and petrol stations) via the POIDB.com website.
Total POI categories is now 119 after adding Rebel Sport.
So my links contained in post #21 are now to revised versions of both the PersonalPOI.db3 & POI.db3 (V5 map) files.
NOTE: Have not bothered to update the POI.db3 (V4.1 map) file however.Last edited by aussietig; 22-02-2012, 10:29 PM.MY11 Tiguan 147TSI (SOLD)
