10.2.1 Creating your own destinations
1. Open an empty document in an editor which can save the files in
UTF8 code (e.g. MS Notepad, Microsoft Word).
Note: The following description is based on the use of MS Notepad as
editor. If a different editor is used, the saving of the file and its UTF-8
coding (point 4-9) may differ from this description.
2. For each destination create a data record (one line) with the
following form:
► Longitude. Begin the entry with a minus sign if you want to
enter a western degree of longitude. The longitude must be
entered as a decimal number with a dot as the decimal sign.
► Comma (as list separator)
► Latitude. Begin the entry with a minus sign if you want to enter
a southern degree of latitude. The latitude must be entered as a
decimal number with a dot as the decimal sign.
► Comma (as list separator)
► Name of the destination. Any name is possible, but no commas
are allowed. If the use of a comma is indispensable, precede it
with a backslash ('\').
► Comma (as list separator)
► PHONENUMBER=
► A phone number. This entry can remain empty.
► Tilde ('~')
► Additional information. This entry can remain empty.
► Enter (in order to begin a new data record)
The address does not have to be included in the data record. It is
shown automatically when you select this POI for navigation.
