Collection of POI's

[spikeyboy22]

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.

I guess you could say

The german - 1
The Spikeyboy22 - 0

Did you read post #66?

Put a general "please help" out there to the Melbourne crew. Someone should/could be able to help.

Yep tired it but still no luck.

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,

/personalPOI/personalPOI.db3

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.

Was going along the M4 today and decided to click on the map,The speed limit was also 120KPH how can this be ,i wonder if you get pulled over for speeding and blame the RNS 510 for getting booked ??

Just read this in another forum any ideas ?
maybe because 7679 is not final version??

7703 Is final for AUS/NZ

Well ppl just aren't following the instructions properly.

Have now made this step no.1 within the first set of instructions.

Speaking of confused. I've been going around in circles for a while now. I still cannot load my own .db3 file. I can load aussietig's, but cannot add to it, or change anything in it using POInspector. If I choose "Edit category" in POInspector and select my own icons the new icons will appear on the PersonalPOI list on the satnav POI selection screen, but the icons on the map itself remain the same. I get it that the folder icon has changed, but the data in the file hasn't, but how do I change the POI icon on the map.

My own POI build seems to load. The satnav tells me that filespace is used on the drive, and that I have several thousand POI's, but when I select "PersonalPOI" on the screen it just "blips" and nothing happens.

aussietig's database is pretty comprehensive, but I'd like to at least be able to add some of my own POI's from GPS Data Team, or change some of aussietig's icons. Ideally I'd like to load my own POI database. If anyone has the patience to give me some "For Dummies" type clues I'd appreciate it.

I had the same thing - I wanted to change aussietig's PersonalPOI.db3... I changed some icons, and whilst they changed on the list, they did not change on the map. What I did was export the category in POIInspector, then clear it out, delete it, and add a new category with the icon I wanted, and re-imported the previously exported POIs. That then successfully used the new icons.

Adding new categories in pretty simple in POIInspector - d/l POIs from POIDB or similar, then create new category, import, give it an icon, and voila...

Maybe he's exceeding a built-in limit of categories.
