Collection of POI's

[Eaglehawk]

Stupid question, I can purchase the updated POIs even if I want to stay on V8 maps right?

[aussietig]

Yes that's right!

Worse case ... you might just see a new Maccas or servo on say a new street on the V9 map, but appear on a patch of dirt or grass as the street didn't exist or wasn't recognised on your V8 or older map. That's all!

Has nothing to do with my POIs! They will just show or take you to those GPS co-ordinates regardless of what's there on your map.

Yeah all works fine, just finished updating mine, big thanks to Aussietig for bringing it back to the forum

[FJ Steve]

Thanks Aussietig! You're a legend.

1: My latest PersonalPOI.db3 file for RNS510 Units only.



WARNING:

I have kept to 195 Custom POI Categories (including cameras) as a maximum this year, which is the same as the 2015 version. But where applicable the POI categories have been refreshed up to July 2016.

So a legitimate 2016 version of mine will show the above creation date and number of co-ordinates. Another way you can tell is that I removed Dik Smith and added Guzman and H&M this year.

NOTE: It will work on any Australian map version 4.1 or higher (currently "V9") and running FW 38XX or higher (currently FW 62XX)

DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility for both the accuracy or completeness of any POI categories and co-ordinates within. The service I am providing is one of compiling from various sources and providing an assurance that it will work on the RNS510 based on the above minimum FW and software requirements only.





2: Searchable Custom POI.db3 file for RNS510 Units only.

Includes: Most frequently used Custom POI Categories (listed below) inserted into the stock map's All Categories (Alphabetical) Master POI List.




Added Benefits:

RNS510 will not ordinarily include or return you Custom POIs (loaded via SD Card) in a "tell me what POIs are nearby" type of search.

This added function will also include frequently used Custom POI categories in your random search of all POIs nearby (based on either your current position or a particular place of choice).

Handy function to have when say you're:
1) Visiting a new town or city;
2) Don't actually know where you want to go next; or
3) Can't remember the name of the place (but know that it's nearby).


3: VIDEOS.

Go to the next post #246 below.


4: PRICING.

I have decided this year, to offer my 2016 Custom POI files directly to members on this forum for a fee:

$10 for the PersonalPOI.db3 file (to be copied and saved onto your own SD Card); and

$15 for both the PersonalPOI.db3 and the POI.db3 files.

WARNING:

My POI.db3 file needs to be inserted into your current map disc's EDB/POI subfolder to create a modified map and burn this to a new map disc. You will need an ISO & Burn software like IMGBURN to do this.

But more importantly, the RNS510 won't recognise that it's a new map disc (as the CD_XXXX will still be the same).

Unfortunately the best solution is to install an older map to then get it to recognise and install your modified map disc.


Now if it sounds all too hard or you're not confident, then just purchase the $10 PersonalPOI.db3 file only!

That will give you the biggest bang for buck (i.e. 195 Custom POI Categories including all my Cameras POI) and takes 10 seconds to install once saved onto a SD Card and into a new folder named PersonalPOI in the root directory.

You will just miss out on my Custom POIs being included and returned in your random searches, without installing my POI.db3 file.


PM me if you're interested with a purchase!

big thanks to Aussietig.

Superfast response, simple process. A++++ work Hugh

[willsy01]

Having a bit of a problem with this 'tig......most of the POIs aren't showing up when I turn them on. Haven't checked them all but the only one that seems to work so far is CBA ATMs.

Have deleted and reloaded but it doesn't fix anything.

Unit details:
Part number: 1T0035680D
HW-version: H70
SW-Version: 4120
Map version: 8207

Any hints?

EDIT: Seems to be some sort of weird anomaly with my nav unit.....not an issue 'tigs file!

[Eaglehawk]

I think I've got the same issue. I can see the speed limits and warnings that I've selected among my 10 POIs, but the Maccas nearby isn't showing up...

I'll do more testing...

Whilst I can't guarantee every POI is there, correct or accurate, I can assure you that there are 838 Maccas on my file!

[Eaglehawk]

Can you check the entries for this location then?

Maccas and a Woolies Caltex. They didn't appear in the map last night, but then I spent all of 10 secs before the baby disturbed me.

[willsy01]

I think it's important to point out the POI file is all good, i've looked inside and it's all there......it's just the 510 is having some sort of hissyfit. I've got the 5238 firmware burnt onto a disc and am planning to upgrade and try it again.

This is in my Woolies Caltex: 149.150777 -35.230069 661 NORTHBOURNE AVE (EXHIBITION CEN LYNEHAM ACT 2602


Anyhow as much I would like to help, I'm definitely not going to check every GPS coordinate that everyone is expecting to be there.

I have made it clear and as a disclaimer ... I just compile these POIs from online sources.

There's over 70,000 coordinates and grouped into 195 categories. That's the only assurance I can give people.


Now please don't treat this as a whinge or having a go at you Eaglehawk!


It is more for other members who want to consider getting this, as a general warning and to think about it before you decide to commit.

The price I'm charging is very reasonable, but certainly will not be enough if people expect after sales support as well.


Quite frankly, I really don't see myself doing this next year!

Will no longer own a VW soon and definitely will have no RNS510 unit going forward to test any new POI file created.

[FJ Steve]

thank you Hugh, your service has been outstanding.

Some people need to realise, that you're collating info from another source/sources. If any of that data is 'off', you are not to know, nor are you responsible. I for one, have been very happy with your support to the community. Thanks mate
