User defined points of interest
In addition to the predefined points of interest (POI) stored on the map SD
card, you can create user defined
POIs that meet your special personal
needs. After creation, such user
defined POIs can be downloaded to
the Infotainment system.
You can create two different types of
user defined POIs:
(1) Destination POIs : POIs that you
can use as destinations for route
guidance.
For each POI you need to define the GPS coordinates (longitude and
latitude values) of the POI's location
and a descriptive name.
After downloading the POI data to the Infotainment system, you will find the
POI name (e.g. "Michaels house") in
the menu for user defined POIs3 48. You can select the regarding
menu item as destination for route
guidance.
(2) POI warnings : POIs that you want
to be warned of ( e.g. very sharp turns
on a road), before reaching the
corresponding location.
For each POI you need to define the
GPS coordinates (longitude and
latitude values) of the POI's location
and a descriptive warning message.
After downloading the POI data to the Infotainment system, and in case
route guidance is active:
When the vehicle approaches the
POI location defined by the GPS
coordinates, the corresponding
warning message (e.g. "Very sharp turn") will be displayed.
Using the menu option POI Warning
Distance in the NAVIGATION
SETUP menu, see above, you can
define, in which distance before
reaching a user defined POI the
related warning message should be
displayed.Creating user defined POIs
For each POI type you need to create
a separate text file, e.g. by using a
simple text editor software.Destination POIs
1. Create a text file with an arbitrary name and the file extension .asc,
e.g. "TomsDestinationPOIs.asc".
2. The POI data need to be entered into the text file in the following
format:
Longitude coordinate, Latitude
coordinate, "Name of POI [ any
comment ]"

Navigation47
Example: 9.9800000,
52.0150000, "Michaels House
[ Fleet Street ]"
Please note, that the text shown
above has to be entered in a
single line, see image above.
3. Get the required GPS coordinates, e.g. from a
topographical map.
The GPS coordinates need to be
expressed in decimal degrees, as shown in the example above.
4. Enter the Longitude and Latitude coordinates into the text file,
separated by a comma and a
space.
5. Enter an arbitrary name for the POI, and, if desired, an optional
comment in square brackets.
The name and comment must be enclosed by quotation marks, and
separated from the GPS
coordinates by a comma and a
space.6. Enter further POI data, using a separate line for each POI, into
the text file, as described above.
7. Store the text file, e.g. on your local hard drive.POI warnings
Create a separate text file with an
arbitrary name and the file
extension .asc, e.g.
"TomsPOIWarnings.asc".
The further operating steps for
creating a text file with POI warnings are the same as described for
destination POIs, see above.
The only difference is: instead of
creating a name (e.g. "Michaels
house") you need to create a warning message (e.g. "Very sharp turn").
Storing the text files on a USB drive 1. In the root directory of a USB drive: create a folder named" myPOIs ", e.g. "F:\myPOIs",
where "F:\" is the root directory of
the USB drive.
2. In the "myPOIs" folder, store the text file with destination POIs,
e.g. "F:\myPOIs
\TomsDestinationPOIs.asc".
3. In the folder "myPOIs" create a subfolder named
" myPOIWarnings ".
4. In that subfolder store the text file with POI warnings, e.g.
"F:\myPOIs\myPOIWarnings
\TomsPOIWarnings.asc"
Downloading the user defined POIs
Connect the USB drive with your user
defined POI data to the USB port
3 31 of the Infotainment system.

Selecting a point of interest
A point of interest (POI) is a specific
location that can be of interest, like a
petrol station, parking area, or
restaurant.
In the Infotainment system a POI is
defined by GPS coordinates
(longitude and latitude values) and a
name.

POIs which names contain theentered letter combination.
Notice
If you do not enter any letter, and
then start a POI search, the system
will search for all POIs nearby the
current position.
While the search is performed, a
message shows in which radius around the current position the
system currently searches for
POIs.
You can stop the search at any time by selecting the Stop screen button
in the message, or you can wait
until a list with all found POIs is
displayed.
Operating steps to start route
guidance to a particular POI, see

route from the intermediate
destination to the final destination.
The waypoint will be indicated on the
map by a red chequered flag.
After reaching the waypoint, the route
guidance will automatically proceed
with guidance to the final destination.
Notice
For every trip you can set only one
waypoint at a time. If there is a
waypoint already active when
setting a new waypoint, route
guidance to the old waypoint will be
cancelled.Enabling user defined POI
warnings
You can define "POI warnings" for
POIs that you want to be warned of
(e.g. very sharp turns on a road),
before reaching the corresponding
location.
Defining your personal POI warnings,
and downloading them to the
Infotainment system, see chapter
"Usage" 3 37.
Enabling POI warnings:
Press the SETUP button, select the
Navigation menu item, and then set
POI Warning to On.
Dynamic guidance If dynamic route guidance is active,
the entire current traffic situation that the Infotainment system receives via
TMC is included in the calculation of
the route. The route is suggested
taking into account all traffic problems
or restrictions as per preset criteria
(e.g. "shortest route", "avoid
motorways" etc.).

Navigation71
In the case of a traffic problem (e.g.
traffic jam, closed road) on the route
you are driving, a message is
displayed, and a voice message
output indicating the nature of the
problem. The driver can decide,
whether to drive around the traffic
problem taking the suggested change
to the route or to carry on through the traffic problem.
Nearby traffic problems are also
reported if route guidance is not
active.
If route guidance is active, the system
continuously checks, based on the
traffic information, whether it would
be better to recalculate the route or
take an alternative route taking into
account the current traffic situation.
The activation and deactivation of
dynamic route guidance, as well as
criteria for the calculation of the route,
are made in the ROUTE OPTIONS
menu, see chapter "Guidance" 3 65.
Dynamic route guidance only works if
traffic information is received via the
RDS-TMC traffic information system.
The possible delay due to a traffic
problem calculated by the
Infotainment system is based on data
that the system receives via the RDS- TMC station currently set. The actual
delay may deviate from the calculated delay.
Maps
All map data required for use of the
navigation system is stored on an SD
card provided with the Infotainment
system.
Map SD card The SD card reader of the
Infotainment system can only read
the SD card provided specifically for
use with the vehicle's navigation
system. The SD card reader cannot
read any other SD cards.
Due to production date of the map
data on the SD card, some new roads
may not be included, or some names and roads may differ from those in
use at the time the map data was produced.
