Collection of POI's

[aussietig]

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!

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.

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.

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

No way! The point of that exercise was to work out if the problem was with the head unit not loading up your data. No way I was implying your data was incomplete. I'm well aware of the pitfalls. I've been using your POIs since 2014, and the speed warnings alone is worth the money.

Besides, I know where most McDonald's are anyway...

Ok ... good to know and thanks for everybody's support. Cheers!
