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...

RNS poi-db3 version - coordinates decoded!
Lates V7 map came with new poi database stored in db3(SQLlite) format when latest version of navi firmware (D-unit) just uses this database. That means, ppl with such a combination were unable to create custom POI database. Problem wasn't database itself, but coordinates (lat/lon) stored in one big "magic" number called z-value, what was hard to decode. Now everything changed as (with some help from few dudes) we have found, how to decode this speciality.
