Yes - I have seen that. It was also there in POI data files on my VW from a few years ago. Not tried to see if anything responds to it. The other issue is that once you edit the POI database, then the checksum for the file is invalid, so the MMI will refuse to import it. I have a way around that, but need time to document it and test.
Ok, I've subscribed, downloaded the files and put them through the Audi website and onto my SD card as instructed but doesn't seem to be working? Help please!

It's downloading as... 'downloader-numbers.jnlp'
There is no list of package contents etc as mentioned above!!
Personally if they're speed related I would prefer them to categorised as fixed. What would you think?No API that I've found, am manually fetching the file through web requests, it's fragile but hopefully the pocketgpsworld site doesn't change too often.
Trying to decide how many categories to have, as I'm thinking I might have more than I need, will probably group a few,
Fixed
Specs
Red Light
Mobile
Not sure what to do with the redspeed and monitron cameras, would people expect to see them in the redlight or fixed category?

So I've gone with Fixed for now, happy to move things around if it doesn't make sense.
I've now put my first version up on the internet. It seems to work for me but doesn't come with any form of warranty or guarantees of support.

Currently there is one known issue, namely it fails to correctly merge the Cameras with existing categories already present on the card, not sure what the cause is yet but will work on this next time I've got a chance. For now I'd recommend building the Database on an empty SD card.
Sorry guys I think I'm being a bit of an idiot - can anyone tell me what to download from the PocketGPS site??
Does this still work? I cannot find where to import the database on myaudi... it seems like they have changed the site since I last logged in (last year November)
Uploaded all the csv files... set icons etc, ticked 'all' and then download and got a '.jnlp' file. This doesn't seem to be right...
Do I need to wait for the package to be ready for download? It isn't too obvious haha
Ahh feel free to ignore haha
Hadn't installed Java ... DOH! And to think I have a degree in Applied Computing haha
Glad I'm not alone! It's also terribly slow to do some things hahaLoL I have a degree in computer science and still the my.audi web site baffles the heck out of me !!!

Was just wondering whether this would work as it lets you download the POI's for free.Not sure mate sorry - I subscribed to pocketgpsworld.com as in post #1 in this thread and it worked fine.

Would you happen to know what format the file is when you download it from pocketgps?
If ive read right its a garmin format but it shows more than one to download..
