How to Update POI Safety Cameras??

[sharper4]

How does one go about updating the red light camera POI data set for the MyLink system? I know several locations that have been around for years that don't show up on my system. You can download much more accurate results from places like POI-Factory but I don't know how to go about uploading those into the system in place of the existing ones.

Use the waze app. Just keep it open on your phone. It will tell you cops and red light cameras as you approach them.

Wish there was a waze app for intellilink in the future gmc app store.

Also would like to know how to add a camera poi??

Taken from the Manual

Creating and Downloading
Predefined POIs (My POIs)
In addition to the POIs already
stored in the Infotainment system,
predefined POIs can be created.
While creating a predefined POI, the
GPS coordinates for longitude and
latitude of the POI’s location and a
descriptive name will need to be
entered.
After creating the predefined POIs,
they can be downloaded to the
infotainment system from either a
USB stick or SD card.
Once downloaded, the POI data
becomes a selectable destination in
the My POIs menu.
Creating a Text File with
Information
Create a text file by using a simple
text editor software. Save this file
with a name and extension of .csv,
for example, “TomsPOI.csv.”
Enter the POI information into the
text file in the following format:
. Longitude coordinate, Latitude
coordinate, “Name of POI,”
“Additional information,” “Phone
number.”
Example: 7.0350000,
50.6318040, “Michaels Home,”
“123 Maple Lane,”
“02379234567.”
. The GPS coordinates must be
expressed in decimal degrees
and can be taken from a
geographical map. The
additional information and phone
number strings are optional.
. The POI name and the
additional information string may
not exceed 60 characters.
. POI information for each
destination address must be
entered in a single separate line.
Storing the POI on a USB Drive
In the root directory of a USB drive,
create a folder name “myPOIs.” For
example, “F:\” is the root directory of
the USB drive.
In the “myPOIs” folder, store the text
file with your POIs, for example,
“F:\myPOIs\TomsPOIs.csv.”
Downloading the POI to the
Infotainment System
Connect the USB drive or SD card
containing the POI information to
the USB port or SD card slot of the
infotainment system. A message
displays prompting whether or not to
download the POI information from
the USB stick. All POIs found are
saved even if they are in multiple
folders.
Subfolders can also be created to
organize the POIs into categories,
for example, “F:\myPOIs
\Restaurants\TomsPOIs.csv

I tried to do a basic ond (my house) and stored it to my usb drive as stated.. I plugged it into the usb and it would not up load anything.....I double checked the format, but nothing...I created a wordpad text file and saved it as a .csv

I couldn't do one never mind the thousands of red light cameras or other POIs from POI-Factory

???????????

Update

I forgot to add the sub folder mypois....I added the subfolder from the main root directory and it read the files from the usb stick. It uploaded and placed them in my POIs folder.

I downloaded a few things from poi-factory under a Garmin .csv ....The Intellink read the files perfectly and uploaded them...

The only problem is that they need to be assigned to a category for them to show up on the NAV Map....

I downloaded the latest Speed and Red Light cameras from POI-Factory, but the Intellink will not let you assign them to the speed camera POI....You will have to find another category to assign them too...Its like the speed camera POI option is locked or not offered with your POIs.

Now I guess I will assign it to something but I'm not sure what yet....I'll have to play with it more.

Great stuff, can't wait to try this.

What manual did you find this in?

 

[mikemal565]

Update:
I could not get my pois to show up on the nav map screen
No matter what category unassigned them to, they would not show up

 

[zolt11]

Has anyone had any luck adding any POI?

 

[sharper4]

Nope, not yet. I've tried twice.

I am able to also get them loaded into my 2015 Tahoe, but I am not able to select them to show on NAV
