Maps and POIs for Discover Media

[Mrdriller]

In MIB2HIGH/PersonalPOI/Package/0/Default/Hashes.txt the file size for each file is listed. These were incorrect.
In the metainfo2.txt file in MIB2HIGH directory there is an entry describing the directory
[PersonalPOI\Package\0\default\Dir]
The FileSize here was also incorrect. It appears it is the sum of the file sizes in that directory EXCLUDING the hashes.txt file
Also in the metainfo2.txt file I added the line
UserSWDL = "true"
to the [common] section.

I worked this out by comparing a working Personal POI package with the one I generated noting the differences.

When I get time I'll play a bit more and try changing the date that shows when loading the POI but its not that important.

Hope this helps and share your creation.

Cheers

Thank you all for the tips. I'm still having trouble to get it to work for my my18 tiguan with discover media (not the pro). Any hints on how I can resolve this. Keeps saying error wrong source even though it says software update available when I insert the sd card.

Hi All

I have a MY2018 Golf R Mk7.5 built December 2017 and was using this thread to see if I could create some Personal POIs containing Fixed speed, Red light and Safety camera locations for Australia.
As noted nothing worked for the MK7.5 Discover Pro in my vehicle.
I tried the following...
1 Downloaded files from poidb.com as at 24 June 2018
2 Used the Skoda site Collection of POIs to build the package of POIs (I tried .kml files but they caused errors so settled for .csv)
3 Frustratingly this package wouldn't load. Grrrr. Tried a few of the suggestions about flattening the file structure and only using files for my Discover Pro etc but none worked.
4 I then looked into the files generated and noted errors in the files describing file sizes. Edited them and Bingo!

I copied the contents of the MIB2HIGH folder to the root of the SD card (MSDOS-FAT32)
So if you have a late model Discover Pro hope this helps.

Includes warning warble.

No idea if this works for other types of Discover nav systems but I've included everything generated by the Skoda site.

Please reply if you have success or not.

OK. I don't know if the Discover Media uses the same directories as the Discover Pro, so assuming it doesn't I checked if the files in the MIB2TSD directory made sense. No they didn't.

Can you try editing the metainfo2.txt file in the MIB2TSD directory so that under
[personalpoi\ppoidb\1\default\Dir]
the FileSize = "340055" line is
FileSize = "339415"

Not sure what you copied to your SD card but try the whole lot. If it fails again then just try placing the contents of the MID2TSD directory at the root of the SD card.

Lets me know how you go.

Yes thanks gtienvy. I figured out the file size change. But still no successful. I've only been using the MIB2TSD contents. So I've just tried putting the whole lot on the sd card. Still not good it's stuck saying it's searching for contents. I've been putting it in SD2 slot. So really frustrated why this isn't working for me. How long does the process take? Should i wait longer for it to search?

... Should i wait longer for it to search?

Sorry no experience with Discover Media and POI's but my Discover Pro can take a couple of minutes before it shows an error. Seems to be quicker when it works

Have you tried the file in the first post of this thread? <http://whrl.pl/RePzO4>
That one worked for me and is what I used to figure out what I needed to change/update to get my POIs to work.

What type of computer are you using to write your SD card? I use a Mac but strip the .DS_Store files when I write to the SD card.

Just managed to get this working for my Discovery Media. I copied the contents into several different folders so the system had no chance of not finding it.
Uploadfiles.io - MyPOIs.zip
unzip and copy to a USB.
Good Luck
