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. Two files are required and both are contained in a single WinZip self-extracting file. Download the following self-extracting file to your PC:-

• JET POI

(Latest update on 1st March 2010)

2. 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.

Both files have the same name JET 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).

3. Turn on your RAC satnav.

4.  Connect your RAC satnav to your PC using a USB cable.  Windows should automatically detect your RAC satnav and Windows ActiveSynch should start automatically.  Please allow approximately one minute for this process to take place.

5. You can explore the folders on your RAC satnav using either ActiveSynch or Windows Explorer. Windows explorer calls the satnav a mobile device and treats it like an external drive.

6. Using Windows Explorer on your PC, find the POI folder on your RAC satnav's SD card which is accessible via the USB connection.  On the RAC200 for example, the folder is SDMMC\POIS\Britain but this may vary depending on which maps you have bought.  The POI folder should contain files with .csv and .bmp extensions.  These are the standard Route 66 POI files, please do not delete or alter any of these existing files.

7. Copy and paste both JET files into the POI folder on your RAC satnav.  The file transfer process should take less than a minute.

8. Use Windows Explorer to check that the two JET files are now in the previously identified POI folder on your RAC satnav.

9. Disconnect your RAC satnav from your PC

10. Use the master On/Off switch on your RAC satnav to power it completely off and on again and then give it time  to reacquire the satellites. This is necessary as the RAC satnav only appears to load new POIs when it is powered on from cold. Just using the power button to put the device into sleep mode does not appear to be sufficient to achieve this.

11 The JET site points of interest are now ready for selection and navigation.

How do I use these POIs on my TomTom?
Please refer to the user guide for your specific model. On the RAC200 for example, you can see a list of the nearest Jet sites in the following way:-

• select the main menu,

• select "zoom to"

• scrolling down to POIs and selecting it

• scrolling down to JET selecting it

• pressing on the green tick icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. 

How do I update these custom points of interest?
Repeat steps 1 to 10 and use Windows Explorer to replace the two files in the POI folder.

How do I uninstall these custom points of interest?
Repeat steps 2 to 10 above using Windows Explorer to delete the two files which you installed. The files for deletion will have the name JET.  Please be sure not to delete any other files.

Can I install other points of interest files?
Yes, you can install points of interest files from other sources in the same way and your RAC satnav will keep them separate.

Where can I get more help?
The RAC provide help line support on 01302 720006,  Route66 Support or email support@cavtel.co.uk.
