The Magellan Maestro POI Manager enables you to transfer custom points of interest files from your computer to your Magellan Maestro 3100/3140. Before we add any custom POI’s to the Magellan Maestro 3100/3140, you should understand how the POI Manager plots POIs. 17.1 Latitude 90° (North Pole) Latitude can be expressed by dividing Earth into horizontal segments totalling 180 degrees. Starting at the Equator, or zero degrees Latitude, lines (or Parallels) are drawn in 10-degree increments 90 degrees to the north and 90 degrees to the south. If your location is below the Equator, 30° you are at a South Latitude. 20° 10° 0° 0° 10° 20° 30° 40° 17.2 Longitude Conversely, longitude lines can be expressed by dividing Earth into vertical segments totalling 360 degrees. Starting at the Prime Meridian (which is The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England), or zero degrees Longitude, lines are drawn in 10-degree increments 180 degrees to the West and 180 degrees to the East. If your location is on the western hemisphere, you are at a West Longitude. Additionally, to narrow down your location further, each 10-degree segment is divided into 60 smaller segments called minutes and, still further, each minute is divided into 60 segments called seconds. To express this in coordinates, the city of Los Angeles is located at 34° (degrees) 03’ (minutes) and 08 (seconds) North of the Equator, and 118° (degrees) 14’ (minutes) and 42 (seconds) West of the Prime Meridian. 17.3 Altitude
Each location can also have an Altitude. Altitude is expressed by how far the point is above or below the level of the ocean, or 100’ Above Sea Level. For example, Los Angeles, California is about 300 80’ Above feet above sea level. Death Valley, California is about 270 feet below sea level. 60’ Above 40’ Above 20’ Above Sea Level 0’ 20’ Below 40’ Below 60’ Below 80’ Below 100’ Below Turn on your Magellan Maestro 3100/3140 by pressing and holding the Power button for approximately 2-3 seconds, 10 seconds if not in sleep mode (see “Top View” on page 6). When the Warning screen appears, insert the small end of the USB cable into the USB port on your Magellan Maestro 3100/3140, and the large end into an available USB port on your computer. Launch the Magellan Maestro Tools application. From the Magellan Maestro Tools screen, click on POI.
The left side of the window shows the contents of your computer and the right side of the window shows the contents of the Magellan Maestro 3100/3140. 17.4 Opening a POI File When you start the POI Manager the contents of your “My POI’s” folder will be displayed. This is the default location for storing custom POI files. Chapter 17: Magellan Maestro POI Manager Locate the POI files you wish to load. When you have selected a file, the Copy To Unit arrow will turn green. Click on the arrow to copy the file to your Magellan Maestro 3100/3140. When you have finished copying files, remove the USB cable from the Magellan Maestro 3100/3140. 17.5 Creating a New POI FIle
There are two ways to create a POI file. You can either add POI’s individually, or you can import a character delimited file containing the information need to plot the POI’s. To plot a POI, each item must have a name, longitude, and latitude. Longitude and latitude must be in decimal format. 17.6 Adding Individual POI’s Click on the New POI File Button to launch the POI Editor. Click on the Add button Enter the Name, the Latitude, and the Longitude. The Altitude and Description fields are optional. Chapter 17: Magellan Maestro POI Manager Select the Category field and select New. A dialog box will appear to create a new POI category. Enter the Name and assign an Image (icon) for the POI. The Description field is optional. The Alert feature is an audible alarm that lets you know when you are within a certain distance from the POI. You can set an initial reminder (Distance 1), a secondary reminder (Distance 2).
Distance 1 Distance 2 Select your preferred unit or measure (Meters or Feet). The Detection angle sets the range of alert in degrees from the POI. Select Activate alert for this category to enable the alert settings. When you have finished, select OK. 17.7 Importing a Data FIle The POI Manager software supports ASCII file format (.ASC,.CSV,.TXT); GPS Exchange file format (.GPS,.XML); Magellan Waypoint file format (.WPT,.RTE); and Garmin PCX5 Waypoint file format (.WPT,.RTE). Click on the Open button Select the file you wish to import and click Open.
Start by choosing which line in the data file to start importing data. If your data file has a header row, this row will generate an error so you should start at line two or below. Next, choose how the data is separated and click on Next. You now need to define the data columns. Click on the pull down menu and assign a field name to the appropriate column. Click on Finish. Click on The Save POI file button. Assign a name to your file and click on Save. Close the POI File Editor. Select the POI file you just created and click on the transfer button (right arrow) to upload the file to your Magellan Maestro 3100/3140. See page 55 for information on accessing custom POIs on your Magellan Maestro 3100/3140. Appendix POI Categories The Magellan Maestro 3100/3140 POI database has 37 different categories.

The Magellan Maestro 3100/3140 uses the most current available map data. Chances are, your street is in a new housing development or the street is new. Map updates may be made available once per year. I know there is a gas station on this street corner, why is there not icon for it on the map? Check your POI settings and make sure you have the necessary POI checked to make it visible on the map. See “POI Selection” on page 55. The Magellan Maestro 3100/3140 uses the latest POI data available. Chances are the POI you are looking for is relatively new and has not been added to the database. If this is not the case, it may have been overlooked or changed since the POI database was created. You can add custom POIs to your Magellan Maestro 3100/3140 to make up for those you route to often. See “Chapter 17: Magellan Maestro POI Manager” on page 112., and “Custom POIs” on page 55. The GPS signal is weak. What’s going on? You may be driving through an area that has tall buildings or trees, or a canyon, or a tunnel. These conditions may interfere with satellite signals. Wait a few moments and the signal should get better as more satellites are acquired. If the problem persists, there may be a problem with the antenna. Contact Technical Support. Why is an address I know I routed to not in the Previous Destinations list? The Previous Destinations list stores the last 50 places you routed to. When you get to number 51, the first destination on the list is removed and each successive destination is moved up. Can I play MP3’s and Route at the same time? No Can I import a play list from Windows Media Player? No. The Music Player does not support playlists from other applications. Can I use any third party SD/MMC card with the Magellan Maestro 3100/3140 The Magellan Maestro 3100/3140 is compatible with most major brands of SD/MMC card.
