Navman POI Destination Error

Paperboy · Occasional Visitor Joined: Jun 07, 2005 Posts: 4

Hi.
I have created a poi list for places I deliver to.
I selected a poi as a destination and whilst driving to one of these poi's I noted it was not the one I selected!! (And so was going way off course)
Crying or Very sad

Has anyone else experience this ?

The icon appears at the correct location so the poi's co-ordinates are correct, but the Navman iCN selects another poi that I have entered!

Navman tech support wont give me a straight answer......

What hardware are you using, and what software version?

If you have two POIs of the same name, it might be confusing the device.

Hi Ulf & Tim.
These errors always occur with the same POIs, and so it is easy to re-create the behaviour.

Received an email today from Tech Support saying they suspect it is a bug in software.

Also from Tech support:-
'The maximum amount of POIs databases is 24 each and can accommodate up 64k entries.'

The error seems to happen on larger files only (But smaller than the 64K suggested above).
To avoid this error put a 20k limit on POI file size.
(It works for me - Have had to split up one 56K file into 3 files but now it selects the correct destination)
Thanks for your feedback.
Hope this is of use to someone else.

Forget the above.....

Still selecting the wrong POIs. Just different ones !

I've been having the same problems. My list only has 180 items in it and there doesn't seem to be any pattern.

Current solution is to enter each POI twice with slightly different identifier. Inelegant, but seems to work.

Does anyone know if this has been fixed by Navman?

Cheers
