 |
|
A friend has passed me an email that he has just received from navigating.de which confirms that they are going to release POI-Warner for our Mio units:
******
You will get an notification when the
POI-Warner for the Mio Map CE 3 is available.
We will mail you then and maybe you can tell it your friends if you want this.
******
This will allow us to import the PGPSW camera database, and other POI's such as the ones on POI Handler. I'll post here as soon as I hear more, in the meantime I'm going to suspend any further work on my own utility to do the same job.
Here's a link to the POI Warner site:

| I suppose that's good news Sal but I haven't a clue how I'm going to do it. I can't access the device. I've tried USB and Bluetooth.The 710 shows my computer on it and my computer shows the device as Windows CE Passkey Enabled but I can't see any files. It doesn't show up on My Computer. So I'm stuck. |

To get access you need to use BlueSoleil software. I also had to change to a BT2 dongle although others have said they used BT1.2
Try this. With the dongle plugged in, go to Device Manager and Remove the device (to delete the MS drivers). Remove the dongle. Install BlueSoleil and reconnect the dongle. Run BlueSoleil which has its own window and function menu. Do NOT reinstall any MS drivers and do NOT use My Computer or Windows Explorer.

| Thank you for that Sal. I might get the software and dongle etc but why doesn't the 710 show up when it's connected via USB? Should it do? |

I don't think you are intended to look into the unit and the Mio software is designed to prevent it. But the bluetooth software gets in by the back door.

Hmmmm... interesting, simply because of this email I received yesterday (only picked it up today, been away with work):
"Unfortunaltely there is yet no suitable version for a MioMap CE 3 system. Please contact the vendor of your navigation system if there are plans to include POI-Warner support.
Also ask if MioMap 3 supports synchronization services that can use overlays provided by www.poihandler.com , a reliable source for Overlay data."
So I'll wait with interest to see if a version supporting the Mio appears. I for one hope it is true, though. |

As you say, interesting. Was that email dated very long ago? Responsible companies don't announce products until they are ready to sell.
Perhaps a few other people should ask them the same question, to demonstrate that there is indeed a demand for the product.

Hi Sal
Email was dated yesterday. I emailed them middle of last week, to ask if they had plans to support Miomap v3 (i.e. for the C510 & C710) - that was the reply. |

Hi Simebaby.
I e mailed this morning too.
You would think that the more enquiries they got, the more likely they are to develop it.
So come on all you guys & gals with your shiny new 510/710's, get e mailing cos we need PGPSW's camera database. 
Here's the link:

Hmm! From the site:
As the name suggests, the Point-of-Interest-Warner visually and acoustically warns you of POIs as you approach them. Speed cameras, petrol stations and kindergartens are only some examples for POIs.
Kindergartens? Perhaps they would like to re-phrase that ! (Unless they mean look out for small children in the interests of road safety, of course).

| Had a look at the Warner site. Don't you have to purchase the software to register or have I read it wrong? |

Yes, the software costs 30 euros. I've not used it yet for obvious reasons but from the reviews and user comments that seems pretty good value.
