Custom POIs
The Custom POIs (Points of Interest) application allows you to create or import your own
POI files. These are called custom POIs. Unlike preinstalled POIs, custom POIs can be
removed from your Mio and can have audio as well as visual alerts associated with them.
To create your POI files, open Microsoft Excel and then enter the POI location details
(including lngitude, latitude, name, and description) in separate cells. Always use decimal
degrees for coordinates and start a new location from a new line. When done, click File
> Save As to save it as a *.csv file. Now you have successfully created a POI CSV file. The

Note: Various POI files are available for download free or by subscription from third-party websites.
Ensure that downloaded files are in .csv (Comma Separated Values) format. Mio is not responsible

use of information regarding safety camera locations may be subject to local laws in the country
of use. You are responsible for checking that you can use the information in your country or in the
country where the information will be used.
