Will VW Sat Nav (New Touran) accept POI's?

dickywhite

I have ordered a new VW Touran and cannot find out if the Sat-Nav will accept POI's -the info on both VW UK and Euro sites does not give any detail?
Can anyone help?

Highly unlikely. I don't know of any factory fit system that can accept custom POIs 'yet'. I know this is a feature that the manufacturers are looking to add but lead-times for anything that is factory fit is measured in years, we had meetings with a few manufacturers over two years ago and still no sign yet!

Thanks Darren - I am pleased that the company are paying the £1200 - so I will plug in my reliable PDA and TomTom & the great PGPSW camera db - Thanks and congrats on a great site!

If its the RNS510, with the in-built 30gb hard drive, then YES it will through a tool that has just been developed.

Have a search on www.briskoda.co.uk or any VW forum for RNS510.

(skoda/vw sat navs are the same (ish))

Keep us posted if you succeed. I know it's possible on some systems to burn a copy of the DVD with POI data injected into it but this does not offer warming functionality, just shows the POI on the map.

And pimp-my-nav is the app I was referring to, i just fail to see what benefit having an on-screen icon for a camera site is without any other form of visual or audible warning?

Surely unless you are constantly staring at the display you they are useless?
