Navman - Download and Install POI Please note that the Navman S30 is described as an entry level product and does not support custom POIs of this sort. If you have another Navman product please read on. You will require a PC running Windows with Microsoft ActiveSync. Most versions of Windows now include ActiveSync but it can be downloaded from Microsoft.
1. Install the SmartST Desktop or other PC software
supplied on CD with your Navman device and restart your PC. (You
may get error messages if you attempt to use SmartST Desktop without
restarting your PC). |
|
2. Start SmartST Desktop and connect your Navman to
your PC using the USB cable supplied with your device. When there is a
connection, a USB screen should appear on the device and an ActiveSync
window will appear on your PC. It takes up
to a minute for SmartST to establish contact with the Navman device, during
which many of its menu options are greyed out. SmartST Desktop should display a large map of the UK.
(If it shows a view of the globe, put the Navman Maps CD in your PC to
help the application to recognise that it is dealing with the UK). 3.Two files are required and both are contained in a single WinZip self-extracting file. Download the following self-extracting file to your PC:-
4. Your browser may automatically start the extraction process, in which case, select Run and follow the prompts. Alternatively if the extraction process does not start automatically, double click on the downloaded file to start the WinZip extraction process. As part of the extraction process, WinZip will ask you to specify a folder to which the files should be extracted, please specify an empty folder on your PC. If you already have a Navman POI folder on your PC you may specify this.Both files have the same name but one has the extension .csv and the other .bmp. (Please do not attempt to open and save these files with any application such as Microsoft Excel as this may corrupt them). 5. In SmartST, click on the Map dropdown list and select POIs... which should open a separate POI Editor window. 6. In the POI Editor, click on the File drop down list and select Open Text File. Select the file you downloaded which should then be displayed in the POI Editor, showing the latitude, longitude and description of the sites. 7. In POI Editor, click on the File
drop down menu and select Save to device. 8. Click OK and you will be prompted to confirm the name of the POI which you need not change. 9. Allow the file transfer a minute to complete. Successful completion of the file transfer should be confirmed by a popup window. 9. Disconnect you Navman from the PC and it will automatically restart itself. The POI are now installed and ready to use.
