New POI's for RNS-510
« on: January 19, 2011, 01:31:50 pm »
Chaps, recently loaded a V7 Map disc on the RNS-510 (everything working fine), but the only thing it didn't have was things like fast food restaurants (like McD's KFS, B King, Sub etc.). Now before you all tell me I'm a fat enough ba*sard anyway ( :P), I did find this really useful on my old V6 map disc, as when I'm out in a strange area (and I travel quite a bit), It's good to see where there is local to get a bite to eat.

Is it a really involved process to add these POI's into the Nav system. I arleady have speed cameras so just need these to complete the picture. I know that the likes of Darren, and Lee etc. would all help me out (they always do), but rather than keep bugging them, thought if it was easy enough I would have a go myself ?

Does anyone have an idiots guide to doing this ?

Ta.  :happy2:

Ahh, just searched again and found this

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2092.0.html

Is this still the preferred method even with the V7 maps ?

Its is if you don't want to pay for the software to do it the proper way :happy2:

I use a program called PimpMyNav but it need an original disc or a copy of the original disc...then you just load your poi onto it and the program makes an image of that and you then just burn the image onto a DVD.

I don't mind sending you my latest creation V7 with everything on it???

^^^I'm still waiting on mine!  :signLOL:

Never mind, I've created my own DVD using the walkthrough yesterday. It wasn't difficult once I get everything together (speedcamera database, icons, POI database etc), just time consuming.

Will try it out this weekend. The annoying thing (insofar as I can workout) is that everytime you want to update the POIs (eg update the speedcamera database), you have to do it all over again. At least with my tomtom, I could copy the database straight to the SD card and plug it in!

I would love it Darren but I'm starting to feel really cheeky as you've done so much for me already.....OK yes please  :grin:

As usual thanks very much mate :happy2:

Can I be really cheeky and ask if you have a copy of the latest firmware for the RNS that will work on my B unit, in preparation for getting the Rocco ( not so urgent this as I won't be getting the car for months yet probably).

Cheers

No worries mate!  :grin: The big question is how up to date the speedcam database is on there. Mine's from 3rd November 2010, so if yours is newer, lemme know!  :happy2:

Sorry to hijack (become common from me :P) but whilst I have all you clever bodies in this thread, is it possible to add speed camera locations to the RNS 310? Obviously it's a different make, model and firmware but nav runs of an SD card still and it doesn't have a DVD drive.

It has a ''Traffic'' button that updates me with all the latest traffic news delays and accidents etc but would really like speed camera locations?

Sorry again but thanks :P
