Add Pois To Magellan Maestro

The Magellan Maestro is a GPS navigation device that figures your exact location and provides travel directions via satellites. One of the many features of the Magellan Maestro is the POI, or Point of Interest, locator that provides step-by-step directions to one of the thousands of POIs preloaded onto your device. Even more POIs can be added to your Maestro via the SD card reader on the Maestro's body.


Instructions








1. Create a POI using the POI Manager software that came with the Magellan Maestro. Insert the SD or MMC card into the computer's card reader slot or into the card adapter. Wait for the computer to recognize the drive and open a folder associated with the SD card. Drag the POI you created into the SD card's folder. Once it is loaded into the card, right-click the folder icon and choose "Eject." Remove the SD card from the reader or the adapter.


2. Insert the SD or MMC card into the expansion slot located on the left side of the Maestro.


3. Turn on the Maestro and wait for it to load to the main menu. Tap the "Enter Address" button and select the "Enhanced" option.








4. Select "My POI" in the menu and tap the "Change My POI File" option. Tap on the file name of the new POI to add it to the Magellan Maestro. Repeat these steps with each POI you added to the SD or MMC card. The newly added POIs can now be accessed from the "My POI" option in the "Enter Address" utility.
