Navigation Question

Exactly my experience. Nothing beats a Garmin.

 

I like the Google Maps on the Android. It's accurate and very easy to use. Problem is that it's not a navigator, its a phone. That and battery life unless plugged in.

The following works in my 2017 Silverado

 

I will give that a try. I didn't put POI in the file name and did use spaces. If I can get one to work like you suggested, I can put a whole list of them on the stick and put them in all at once. Thanks for correcting GM and their manual.

The following works in my 2017 Silverado:

 

1. The root folder in the USB drive has to be named “myPOIs” EXACTLY without the “” quotations.

 

2. The format in the Owners Manual is incorrect (miss print?). The correct format does not have quote marks, uses a negative sign ( - ) to indicate West longitude, and does not have spaces around the commas.

 

Example: -90.123456,36.654321,Somewhere Interesting

 

3. After you get the text entered, you will save the text document, as a ".csv" file in the "myPOIs" folder with any name you want, but you MUST add "POI" at the end of the name.

 

Example “Interesting Places POI.csv”

4. Finally, download the file as shown in the manual.

 

I've had my truck about a week and this has been driving me crazy. Thanks so much!
