EXCLUSIVE TO VW CENTRAL

We, VW Central are proud to announce that we are the official distributor of aussietig's custom POIs.


His custom POI file contains a comprehensive collection of Personal POI categories that not only enhances the existing suite of POIs on your Australian map, but will improve the search capability and navigation function of your RNS510.


On offer in this latest version of his PersonalPOI.db3 file are 195 POI Categories (including cameras) refreshed up to March 2015.

Also on offer will be the most frequently used custom POI Categories (listed below) physically embedded into your own current Australian map's All Categories (Master) List.

Cost: $20.00

Service: Our installers will upload both his latest POI files onto your RNS510 from one of our workshops located near you, at a time booked and agreed by you.

Benefits: Once installed you will be able to do the following:

1. Select up to 10 POIs to be permanently displayed on your map.

Example above has pre-selected all cameras, petrol & train stations to be displayed (where ever you go).


2. Include custom POIs in your general search of POIs (whether nearby or at a desired location/town/postcode).

RNS510 will not ordinarily include and return any custom POIs in a "tell me what POIs are nearby" search that you perform.

The added file and function would also include the frequently used custom POIs (mentioned above) in a random search of all POIs nearby. A somewhat handy function to have when say you're:

Visiting a new town or city;
Don't actually know where you want to go next
Can't remember the name of the place (but know that it's nearby)

Example above shows a random search of POIs containing the words 'SUPER' located nearby.

Example above shows a random search of POIs containing the words 'SUPER' located in postcode '3000' (Melbourne) while vehicle is situated in Sydney.

As you can see, the RNS510 returns both stock and frequently used custom POIs in these search results of 'SUPER'.


This was being sold for $20.00, however living in the digital age, things get leaked and AussieTig's hard work has been posted up online for free to download. Therefore, we cannot compete with free pricing. We felt that $20.00 was a fair price given that AussieTig had worked hard on the POI's. We will leave this page here to show the potential of what the POI can offer.

The Mobile Speed Camera's are known spots whereby cameras are put up temporarily. These are separate to fixed speed camera's.

Had the POI copied over yesterday. I am free only on weekends so Dean made a separate appointment at Automodelista (which is closed on weekends) for this.
Enabled all the speed cam options and they were accurate on the drive home for the ones I know. Awesome! :biggrin:
I recon its worth it to get an idea especially when driving in unfamiliar areas. I usually keep the map displayed to check the road layout ahead when going for drives out of Melbourne.
But of course its common sense not to solely rely on this as there can be new mobile cams and unmarked cars anywhere.
I haven't had the chance to try the other POI types but the cams were the most important.

So overall good experience and money well spent! :)

It is country wide, just an update from the previous 2014 version :)
