WOW! thanks Aussietig and Kamold for putting so much great work into this.
I've just downloaded the personalpoi.db3 and will have a go at loading them via SD card tonight.
small question. I am a bit shaky on how to do the proper searchable install via CD.
am I right that I need a V5 maps CD to begin with? then take an iso of it, replace the poi.db3 with aussietigs file then install that? but since my car is already v5 (I think, just bought novemeber 2012 scirocco R) I need to downgrade to 4.1 first AND I need to do something in the secret menu?
where I'm going... is there possibly a sydney member who has a current map disk who can help me out with this over the next few weeks? I'm willing to travel to you and would be happy to provide a meal/drink/whatever in exchange for your time. I'm not particularly lazy, just not experienced with this stuff and don't want to balls it up.
I'm also trying the VIM mod which seems a bit simpler so I'm giving that a go myself. fingers crossed!
Upgrade to 4120 firmware from this forum, it has VIM already, plus maximises music partition and has secret menu enabled.
Happy to help you out if you want a guide.
No need to downgrade to 4.1, if you install new firmware there will be no map installed, so you can just install the v5 map that has poi file replaced as you mentioned.
thanks for the reply kamold. I just logged on after coming upstairs from doing the VIM and uploading the personalpoi.db3.Quote:

I left the disc sitting there and did a reset (pressing eject, star and guide) and it then swalled the disc but up and started over again but this time I got the confirmation screen, clicked ok and it worked. :)
is it possible I have 4120 firmware already? the car is pretty new (picked it up just 4 weeks ago so I guess maybe a few months old).
if that's the case what's my best option? and also, what's the 'secret menu' and how do I enable it?
sorry for the noob questions and thanks for your help. :)
Hold Setup for ~30 seconds
thanks Ryan_R. :) seems I am quite the noob...Quote:

I've got a small update people may or may not know about. I know tig posted about how if you just import the POI's via SD card you can't search for them. but you can still do a proximity search like "closest 7-11". I just went into nav, new dest, search, poi, chose category 'personal' then I put something like nearest dan murphy's and it works just fine. I guess maybe it doesn't work doing a complete search but if you know the thing you want to find it works nicely. :)
Hi guys,
A couple of videos on how to upload the POI from SD card and how to Mark them so they stay on the map
https://vimeo.com/59617364 - upload POIs from SD card
https://vimeo.com/59609234 - mark the Speed Cameras so they appear when you travel
Hope it helps to some of us who have struggled with these features.
Hi, I've tried to use my own icons, with the 34x39 and while the list show the new icon, it doesn't reflect on the map, how do I get the icons to show on the map. I've deleted everything and exported via poinspector but it still doesn't seem to work. I must be missing something but cant seem to figure it out, please helpQuote:
