[Guide] Nissan Connect 1 - How to add POIs ("My POIs" method)

$
0
0
This guide will teach you how to add your own POIs really easily, using the "My POIs" method which consists of CSV file(s). Please be aware that the POIs I'm going to link only cover a bit of Europe, if you are a skilled person and would like to contribute then read below on how to add your own map! I'll be sure keep the thread updated.

Notes:
- Every time you redo this process all your old user POIs will be removed.
- You do not have to install every CSV file, you can simply only choose the one for your country.
- Seems like you will get double warnings on existing warning POIs - to fix that issue you'll have to update the warning POI, read below on more information.

Requirements:
- USB stick in the FAT32 format with around 50 MB available space

Guide:
1. Inside your USB stick, create a directory named myPOIs
2. Enter the newly created directory, and create a sub directory named myPOIWarnings
3. You should now be able to navigate <usb-root>\myPOIs\myPOIWarnings
4. Browse to https://free-speed-cam-updates.web2diz.net/download/ and select "Speed camera for Nissan Connect", download the file and save it somewhere on your computer
5. Open the archive you just downloaded and move all CSV files to <usb-root>\myPOIs\myPOIWarnings
6. Now insert the USB stick to your Nissan Connect 1. It will automatically prompt you to download the new POIs. Select Download when prompted.
7. When the process has finished you can safely unplug your USB stick and you are done!

Further information:
The CSV file seems easy to make your own. If you're skilled then you could easily parse some big list of cameras & etc in a program or script in an CSV file that the device will understand. If you do a google search of local speed camera coordinates in your country you should be able to find lists of available ones. You can also change the labels of every speed camera, the ones in the linked file is not in English so you might want to change the labels before installing them to your device.

There's two types of POI installations:
- "My POIs", which is the one used in this tutorial. Uses the CSV format
- "Warning POIs", which are the System POIs - they cannot be uninstalled. A long time ago they could be bought from NISSAN to update - but they recently pulled it from their store. It uses NTQ file format - which is short for NAVTEQ (old HERE brand). It seems like there's no difference in the file content from the CSV one. Seems like it can be installed using the same steps according to the NISSAN Connect PC Tool. A NTQ file can be found in a firmware update (Alerts_Q311.ntq). Seems to be a Nissan Connect 1.5 thing only according to pdf found below
