Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2005 7:31 pm Post subject: using MY poi's
So, now I have quite a few POI's on the 510 that I've downloaded and they all display with no problem. But I want to change the settings for individual ones and that is proving a problem.
I have the POI's for the London Congestion Zone on there (called cczone). Last night I was driving on the perimeter of the area and they annoying me with the audio warning constantly going off and the visual warning replacing the name of the street I was on so I decided to go in and turn them off. Easy? No!
Go to Settings - Alerts - Active POI and select the one you want. Untick 'active' and then save and go to the map display. The C logo is still there. Turning off the Visual Warning makes no difference.
Okay then, go to Settings - My Data - My POI and untick the one you want. Save and exit and the 510 reloads the maps, the C logo is still there and when you go in and have another look, the one you unticked is ticked again! Not only that, but now there are loads of other POI's displayed. (To get rid of them you have to untick and then retick 'show icons on map' under "points of interest" and save changes).
Does anyone have any ideas? What is the point of giving options to adjust my POI's individually, when it doesn't work? I don't want to turn off all the POI's, just some of them and the choices are there! The only way around it I can see is to remove them from the unit but then you'd have to reload them again later.

Hi Simon,
What you are experiencing is a bug, All the MYPOI's that you load will be visible on the map all the time. you can however turn on and off the visual and sound warnings for each group individually but not the actual icon.
Navman are aware of this and hopefully will be fixed soon. _________________ Ian.

Hello Simon
It's a bit disturbing, I downloaded that file to compare with mine, and found 23 differences in my file (entry points), and 32 in the one from Ian's web site.

Were the differences quite big? Obviously, just putting a two co-ordinates in a few feet apart creates a new entry as the lat and long will be different.

Actual roads/streets included, not lat and lon differences, see above.

I was watching Groundhog Day. Anyway, if someone can be bothered to give feedback on our Custom POIs, I think it's only right to return the compliment. However, I don't think this is the place, and won't be doing it on the forum again, at least not for such a long list. I would prefer feedback to by sent via email (address in .txt file). _________________ Tim

Actually, on the subject of long lists, I've put quite a few POI's on my 510, and even though some of them are shorter ones (like the SEAT dealerships) I THINK I've noticed the unit slowing down just a little in it's calculations and general updating as I drive around. It seems to take a fraction longer when I turn corners, etc.
Maybe I'm imagining it, but there is supposed to be still over 2mb left of space. Is it possible that it can slow down with too many poi's loaded?

Hello Tim,
Thanks for your response, as regards your email it's not in the file I downloaded from Ian's web site.
Oh, thanks for that. I'll get Ian tro add it, and ensure it's in the other POIs I've done.
My CC Zone POI was created after driving around the perimeter three or four times, as well as studying maps and other websites. I'm sure there are some mistakes but all in all I reckon it's pretty accurate. _________________ Tim

Some feedback would be nice.
That's impressive, I don't think I would have had the patience.
