item, such as an address to start

search field if entering an
address that is located in the
same state.
. Whenever the keyboard view is
entered, the last text that was
typed, even if it was not
searched on, will display.
. A partial or complete address
can be typed in the search field.
If a partial address is typed, the
system attempts to use local
knowledge to fill in additional
information. For example, if no
city name or state/province are
given, the system assumes a
search for something in the
current city or a nearby city in

additional information string may
not exceed 60 characters.
. POI information for each
destination address must be
entered in a single separate line.
Storing the POI on a USB Device
In the root directory of a USB
device, create a folder name
“myPOIs,” for example, “F:\”is the
root directory of the USB device.
In the “myPOIs” folder, store the text
file with your POIs, for example, “F:
\myPOIs\TomsPOIs.csv.” Downloading the POI to the
Infotainment System
Connect the USB device containing
the POI information to the USB port
of the infotainment system.
A message displays prompting
whether or not to download the POI
information from the USB drive. All
POIs found are saved even if they
are in multiple folders.
Subfolders can also be created to
organize the POIs into categories,
for example,
“F:\myPOIs
\Restaurants\TomsPOIs.csv.”
If the message is dismissed or
ignored, no POI information is
downloaded. This prompt will not
reoccur for the current ignition cycle.
When the system is finished
downloading, a pop-up displays
asking to specify a category for the
new POIs, if desired.
Importing and Overwriting
Categories
When POIs are found on a media
device, the date of the file is
examined and compared to the date for the files already in the system.
If the file being downloaded is
newer than the one in the system,
that particular category of POIs is
overwritten. Any other POIs that had
previously been saved in other
categories are not affected.
Address Book Download
If an Address Book is found on the
connected USB device, the same
alert is used to indicate that
locations have been found and they
can be downloaded. If there is
already content in the vehicle
Address Book, the system prompts
if the stored content should be
overwritten. Select Save to
overwrite the existing Address Book
information. Select Cancel to abort
the import of information.
Browsing Downloaded POIs
Access the downloaded POIs by
selecting the My POIs list item in the
POIs list.
