The pre-installed database isn't accessible to read in the same way as other custom POIs are?

someone advised me to upload the pre installed database and check the format in excel, and see if i can edit a new downloaded database in excel to the same format. I am having a lot of trouble in adding a new POI database.

You can't do that so save yourself the bother! The GPS400 uses Destinator, that means POIs should be in .csv file format.

From your previous posts it looks like your CSV is in the wrong order for Destinator. Does the file look like this in notebook?

"A La Ronde","comment",-3.4142,50.6375,,,
"Aberconwy House","comment",-3.8302,53.2846,,,
"Aberdulais Falls","comment",-3.7794,51.6848,,,

Destinator expects the data in this order:

"name", "comment", long, lat,,,

CSV is 'comma separated variables'. Lots of satnav systems use CSV to import data but each maker expects data in a different order. If you have something in a different order (numbers first?) it is a CSV for a different system and you will get lots of errors reported. You could either edit it or get another copy of the data with the listing in the right order - it might be marked 'destinator 3', that's the one you want for the speed cameras.

Destinator has two sorts of POI, the ones it arrives with where you can search for nearest port etc. The ones you add yourself through the normal PC application are not called POI by Destinator, they're 'favorites'. You can list them by name and plot routes to any of them by name but you cannnot list the 'nearest' as you can with POI.
