Collection of POI's

[Easter]

custom POI's don't work and now lost default POI's also.

Hi guys, new to golf and the forum so will say thanks to aussietig for a great thread and for any of your help in advance.

Yesterday I successfully updated my RNS510 (verC) with f/w 421x and the v5 maps. All went well and had the default POI's for the drive to the office. After reading this thread I added aussietig's PersonalPOI.db3 with an SD card. Successfully achieved up to and including step 4 below, at step 5 the 'select map details' was greyed out.

To upload this file from SD card onto your RNS510:
1. Create a new folder also called PersonalPOI on your SD card and save the PersonalPOI.db3 file into this subfolder.
2. Insert your SD card into RNS510.
3. Press 'Setup' button, then select 'Navigation' on the screen.
4. Select 'My Points of Interest' and select 'Import' and wait for import confirmation.
5. Now exit and press 'Map' on the screen whilst still within 'Setup', then select 'Select Map Details' on the screen.
6. Scroll down to my 'PERSONAL' Folder and choose the custom POI of your choice to be permanently displayed map is on screen.

Any suggestions on why the 'Select Map Details' are unavailable? the import of the PersonalPOI's went off without a hitch.

There is a limit to how many Poi unit can accept.

Still trying to work out that magic number.


After loading my file, you might need to reboot your unit to force it recognise the new poi. So need you to confirm how many did you load.

Or try redownloading my file and try again.

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 help

Could be several things:

You got the pixel size right, but they have to be saved as .PNG file format.

Have you selected the icon under setup/map?

When u finished creating it, did u vacuum the changes to lock in your changes within poinspect0r?

I t can only accept a maximum of ten categories to display on the screen. You can load as many as you like (within your .db3 file) IIRC, but when you select which categories you want displayed on the map...then 10 is the magic number.

+1 for resetting the unit.

Also...what is the size of your .db3 file Easter?

its 25.1 Mb, it is aussietig version as he published it in #21. Reset the unit, no change. I dont get any POI categories to select from. When i go to the extras menu in Nav the POI selection is greyed out...

25mb sounds too big - the one I use is only 13mb.

I'll upload it now and post a link shortly.

i loaded 100% of them from your file, didnt get to select any to load in the Nav menu.

just tried downloading the file again and this time it was only 13.1Mb, going to go and try this now.
