Navigon Custom POI

Want to download and be able to add additional custom POI 's to your Navigon Sat Nav but can't work out how?

If you have bought one of the newer, 40/70 series Satellite Navigation (Sat Nav) or GPS device from Navigon, then you should be good to go. Simply install and then run Navigon Fresh and use the new POI-Assistant utility. Instructions can be found in Navigon FAQ's.

If you have an older Navigon device (4350/6310 etc), then Navigon Custom POI can help.

This is a fairly simple to use and possibly the only Navigon POI Converter available that allows 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 from those freely available POI 's online.

As an example: Take a Garmin .csv file, that is in a format of - "long, Lat, Town (can include 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 the pom/nsf format.

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).

The following Sample Screen Shots show the Custom POI Search on the Navigon Device

Note: Navagon POI is only compatible with devices that have the Imported Addresses: Outlook / Internet Function.

Who knows this could force Navigon to get there act in to gear and add Custom POI import as a permanent feature on all their Sat Nav devices, not just the newer ones!
