Navigon Custom POI

Own a Satellite Navigation (Sat Nav) or GPS device from Navigon. Want to download and be able to add additional custom POI 's to your Sat Nav but cant work out how?

Then Navigon Custom POI is here to help.

This is a fairly simple to use and possibly the only Navigon POI Converter available that alows search from the Navigon Menus.

Navigon POI will allow you to create a set of Custom POI 's from scratch or do the conversion from a downloaded csv file for you.

Take a Garmin .csv file, that is in a format of - "long, Lat, Town (inc POI Name), Other Details" and then convert it to a Custom set of POI for the Navigon device. It's very easy to use, just a few clicks and custom POI's are on your Navigon device.

Note: It does not add to or use pom/nsf format, it is just not possible to do that . If this is what you are looking for don't hold your breath, as even Navigon can't seem to provide this.

So how does it work?

The Following Sample Screen Shots will guide you through the Navigon POI Conversion Software

Once Created, POI files are added to the Imported Addresses/Internet section under My Destinations. To Search for a POI, select text entry and enter the name or first part of the TOWN to search, then all loaded custom POI's in that town will be displayed, select the POI and route to it, could not be easier.

It is possible to create and then upload multiple POI files and add to or update POI's later. Simply create more POI's and use Navigon POI to upload. Limit to a few thousand custom POI's for best results.

Please Note: POI Search will not work with Voice Command, as there is just to much data to load. The more POI's there are, the longer it takes to sort and load for searching, this is due to a limitation of the Navigon device. (Navigon POI will not add speed alerts etc).

Who knows this could force Navigon to get there act in to gear and add Custom POI import as a permanent feature on their Sat Nav devices!
