UPDATING THE SPEED TRAP POIS ON THE POI PILOT We update our databank daily. It therefore makes sense to connect your POI Pilot with your PC from time to time and update the data. To do so, you have only to double click the POIbase icon on your PC (desktop) and establish a connection via USB cable between PC and POI Pilot. The main menu then appears. Click on “Download” and then click on “My selected POIs”. You can now view your selection, add or remove POIs, and then simply click on “Update POIs”.
PoI PIlot 6000 FunCtIonInG anD oPeratIon The POI PILOT 6000 provides acoustic and visual warnings about particular points/dangers in road traffic. In doing so, the POI Pilot differentiates between the playback/warning about stationary and mobile speed trap locations, safety POIs with particularly dangerous curves, intersections, railroad crossings, speed bumps, and other POIs such as cheap petrol stations, opened emergency pharmacies, but also fast-food restaurants.
During a POI warning, the display changes from the current speed to the distance in metres until the speed trap/POI is reached. If a warning pertains to a stationary speed trap, the word “Fixed” also appears on the display. If a warning pertains to a mobile speed trap, the word “Mobile” also appears on the display. After installation, the POI Pilot warns by default about, for example, stationary speed traps twice, acoustically and visually, before the danger spot is reached.
Visual warning • ON = A visual warning is always given for this POI type. • OFF = A visual warning is never given for this POI type. • SP = A visual warning is given for this POI type only when the permissible speed and an optionally adjustable tolerance is exceeded (SP is available only for stationary and mobile speed traps).
Display switch-off, if no warning • NO = Display on and shows time, speed, or distance to warning point. • YES = Display is activated only during a warning and is off between warnings. Day/night mode • 0 = Automatic, display brightness switches automatically between day and night brightness depending on location and time (astronomical computation). • 1 = Day, display brightness permanently set to day brightness.
TIPS & EXAMPLES FOR EXPERT SETTINGS I would also like to receive acoustic warnings about mobile speed traps. Which buttons do I have to press? I would like to receive fewer warnings overall. Which settings are best? • Press “M” button, the device switches to the main menu and announces the first main menu item, “Warning settings stationary speed traps”.
ADDITION OF SPEED TRAPS AND OTHER POIS New fixed and mobile speed traps are deployed on the roads daily. You can also enter these speed traps into the POIbase database yourself. Step 1 Connect the POI Pilot 6000 with your PC, start POIbase and click on “Edit POIs”. 38 Step 2 The map will now be displayed.
Step 3 On the right, select the location or zoom with the mouse wheel to the point where the speed trap is standing and mark this location with a mouse click. A red X appears at this point. 40 Step 4 The next step is to select the POI category in the left column. In this case, a mobile 30 km/h speed trap. Then click on “Add POI” in the right column.
Step 5 The chosen category will be displayed once more. By clicking once on “Further Steps”, you will arrive at the POI description. Step 7 The entries can now be checked once more. If everything is correct, click on “OK”. Your entries will then be transmitted to us, checked and logged. Step 6 If all mandatory fields have been filled out, please click on “Further Steps”.
