Custom POI Imports
TripMaker allows for importing of a list of locations that are of interest.
Custom points of interest can be downloaded to a file on a personal
computer, and transported into the TripMaker device via the Dock.
1. Install the most recent Rand McNally software for the Dock and for your
unit.
Note: Specific icons and colors may vary depending on your unit.
2. Use the Rand McNally Dock to transfer the point of interest file to your
device. Plug your device into your computer via USB and wait for the
Rand McNally Dock to start.
3. Select the Custom POI button.
4. From the Dock, select the file you wish to transfer, select whether it is
an “Alert” or “Interesting Location” POI, and then choose the Transfer
button.
Note:“Alert” POIs are things like Red Light Cameras, which you would
only like to be told about if they are on your route or on the road ahead.
“Interesting Locations” are those things you would like a proximity alert
about that could be anywhere around you.
5. Step 5 –Load the custom POI’s into your device.
• Unplug your device from your computer
• Plug it into power using the 12 or 120V power adapter.
• Turn the unit on. Note that depending on the size, this 1-time load
could take more than ten minutes. The maximum number that should
be loaded at any one time for best performance should be less than
25,000. When transferring an update of a current list, for instance
Red Light Cameras, the new file will completely replace the file that is
currently on the device.
• While transfer is in progress, you will see the
loading cUstoM poi
window.
