| Posted by Nightowl433 Combining POIs in to Groups - RNS510NAV Hello, First post, so please be gentle :-) I've just had a RNS510NAV installed in my car and would like to add some POIs, specifically all my work addresses and National Trust propertiess. There is a POI installed with the device that includes shopping/bangking/safety POIs, etc., but I would like to add mine. I can't seem to get how these different groups are managed, because when I produce a POI the device doesn't recognise it. I've overwritten the existing one but kept a copy, so when I've re-installed it everything is back to normal. I'm using this site to convert the files to *.csv and then manually combining them before I convert it to *.db3. But do I actually need to? Thanks |

Hi How do you "produce a POI"? Our POI Zone combines all selected files to groups. Do you save POI as DB3 or convert with our DB3 tools? Regards |

I 'produce' a POI using your POI Edit. I load the existing file and then added some new records, but I guess that's probably wrong (coz it didn't work!). I then saved it as a *.db3 file. I think I just need a simple guide on how to do this properly - everything I've read seems to be a bit complicated for me :-( Really, all I want to do is add National Trust Properties and all my work locations as separate Groups in the PersonalPOI.db3 file - but learn how to do it so I don't need to keep asking silly questions! Thanks |

| Posted by Nightowl433 Combining POIs in to Groups - RNS510NAV OK, so here come the results... Everything works perfectly with the POIs provided by the installer, until...
I write a new POI, name it something other than PersonalPOI.db3 and import it - As above I d/l one of your POIs, name it something other than PersonalPOI.db3 and import it - As above I re-import the original file (which isn't named PersonalPOI.db3) - Everything's back to normal Now I'm definitely confused!

| Posted by Mark Re: Combining POIs in to Groups - RNS510NAV Hi Nightowl433 Andrew added a new tool to our Online POI Editor for RNS-510: https://www.gps-data-team.com/convert/merge-db3.php This script joins 2 DB3 files into a single, combined DB3 file for VW RNS-510. Repeat the process to add as many files as you want, to make the combined master DB3 file. |

| Posted by Guest Combining POIs in to Groups - RNS510NAV Excellent. That looks good and I'm assuming there isn't a limit on the number of records a poi file can have? Thanks for your help (and Andy's hard work!) in resolving this for me. Merry Christmas, Pete |
