POInspect0r 5.0

Quick Start Guide – v1.0

This is a very quick guide on how to use POInspect0r to create your own custom

PersonalPOI database for use on the Volkswagen RNS510 Satellite Navigation

System.

This document is provided “as is” and has been created after some considerable

time working with both the RNS and also POInspect0r.

As ever, thanks to rds++ for his amazing work on the application!

What you will need

For this to work, you will need the following items:

• a VW RNS510 with firmware 38xx or later installed

• a Windows XP or later system

• a suitable SD card for data transfer

• points of interest data (such as speed camera databases)

Installation

Download the latest POInspect0r from http://poinspect0r.blogspot.com/ and then

install on a suitable Windows PC.

Prepare the POI data

Download or create a suitable CSV or ASC file of points of interest. They need to

contain, as a minimum, a name for the location and a latitude and longitude.

POInspect0r can use a variety of file formats – please check the documentation.

More about additional fields later in document.

Create a new Database

You can either chose to create a new database or re-use one that already exists.

The current beta version of POInspect0r can create a new database for you.

Firstly launch POInspect0r from within Windows Explorer.

Now select “New” from the top left of the window and name the database with a

suitable name (suggested is PersonalPOI). This name appears on navi screen as well.

This will create a new database called PersonalPOI.db3 in the POInspect0r directory.

If you wish to move this database, close POInspect0r, move the database, reopen

the application and then locate and open the PersonalPOI.db3 file.

Tip: When you do not see a changes you’ve made, try click on reload button 1 st .

Once you have created a new database, you will see a window with one POI

category called “PersonalPOI” in the left.

To change the name of this category, you simply right-click and then select “Edit

category.”

We now want to add some further categories (or “children”) to this main category.

Right-click the newly named category and then click “Add category > add child”. If

you were wanting to add a new top-level category, then you can select “sibling” to

keep it at the same level.

You can drag and drop categories to move them about. This will move category in

the new selected parent folder. To move any non root category to the top root, drag

and drop it to the bottom white empty place.

To delete a category you must first remove all POIs from that category and then

remove the category itself.

Create a suitable named category and then select the appropriate icon. In the

current beta you cannot use your own icons.

In the latest version of POInspect0r new button called “Tools” has been added. There

is possibility to add custom icons.

Add all of the other categories to the main category (as “siblings”) and select the

appropriate icons. Once you have done, you can now add the POIs.

I always make back up copies at various stages - this can help when all goes wrong

and you have spent ages setting up the categories!
