New version 6.0 - export option for Discover navi units

New features:

  • New SD card export as format compatible with Discover Pro & Media units
  • Ability to set category warnable (supported only by some Discover units - not tested)

*Skoda Columbus/Amundsen and Seat Media-System navi units should be compatible as well

Note: It can just generate data on SD card supported as import by Discover units. Open previously or by another tool generated data is not supported. Program still use RNS db file to store data. Also note, that import by Discover devices does not support category tree - all categories are exported into root branch.

Personal POI - FAQ

Q: I've puted db3 file inside PersonalPOI folder in SD card, but navi won't recognize it.
A: Discovered, that filename must have at least 9 characters in name ({at least name of length 9}.db3). Don't ask why, I dont know :)

Q: I don't see or see different icons on map. In the list icons are displayed correctly.*FIXED in 5.7
A: Have no explanation yet. My suspicion is buggy navi firmware (finally is still beta). Tried leave there only used icons, changed icon ID (thought there is limit in icon count), nothing helped. Looks like when you import Personal Poi db for the first time, navi makes some cache for the map, which isn't prolly released in next import. Thats only guesses. Hope someone figure it out soon.

Q: I see category in the list, but cannot enter inside subcategories.
A: Another weird thing. A user discovered that long category name cause the problem. Don't know what limit is, but this name doesn't work: "Snelheidscontroles" O_O

more to come...

Personal POI Quick Start Guide

Available in download section...
Many thanks to branchespark for creating it!
[Update]
Correction: On page 6 of the manual (minimum zoom to see the pois) is that 400,000 equals 40 km. Prolly 400,000 is 4 km so each unit = 1cm (instead of 10 cm). Next rls will come with input for zoom level in meters or kilometers! Guide will be updated soon as well.
