Notes
- Newer NavGear sat navs sometimes have to be set to Mass Storage manually: Turn the device on (but do not launch the navigation software), then go to Settings > USB > Mass Storage
- There is a quirk involved in activating safety camera POI's on GTX/RSX devices. They are directly integrated into the map and can be configured as follows: Turn your sat nav on, then select More > Settings > Audio and Warnings > Alert Settings. Activate the selection box next to "Activate Alerts". Individual categories can now be configured under "Alert Types". (Menu items may have slightly different names).
- After installing POIbase Mobile, please be sure to follow all the instructions on-screen as the program may not launch automatically otherwise.
The following steps are necessary to install POI and safety camera data on your NavGear sat nav:
- Connect the sat nav to your PC and launch POIbase.
- Click on "Load POI's and Speed Cams", and then on "Download Speed Cams" or "Download POI's"
- Under "Download POI's" you will find numerous useful POI categories such as petrol stations and campsites, as well as safety cameras and other road safety POI's.
- Activate any POI categories you require by clicking the "Add" check box.
- Once you have finished browsing and selcting POI categories, click on the yellow "Download" button on the bottom right of the POIbase interface.
- All selected POI categories will now be transferred to your NavGear sat nav.
