I have a Skoda Octavia Technology '66 plate and now that my TomTom has gone kaput and has finally been laid to rest, I am wanting to add a whole load of camping/camp sites into the Amundsen (MIB2 I think) using the SD card  (would it be on SD1 [map] or SD2 [media]) but can find nothing that relates on the "how to" - only maybe a few old guides that have since been broken by newer equipment or missing/broken links.

 

The files I have are mostly CSV with some of the TomTom OV2 style as well.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I was thinking about updating some of my POI's, it used to be easy as you could upload a csv file via the Skoda connect portal and they'd find their way onto your car. That's disappeared and in theory you can import from a SD card  but I believe they have to be converted into a suitable format first.

Thanks surreyslowcoach for the comment.

 

It seems like Skoda (VW, etc) don't want us to mess with their databases and add our own POIs in. It begs the question, what are they so afraid of.

 

Having said that, I'm on the point of getting a new TomTom and saying to hell with the on-board satnav. Especially when the other week I used the satnav for the first time since I got the car in '66 (new) and it wanted to take me down some very narrow lanes especially when the location was a yard or two off the main road and also down some very weird routes on the way. Thankfully I knew where I wanted to be and the route to get there. Never again will I be tempted to use the satnav. And this while towing a caravan. No way would I have been able to navigate those lanes!

 

Stuff the satnav, bring back TomTom.
