Hey guys,
I recently got a new 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan. And it has the UConnect 430N. Does anyone know how to upload POIs into this nav system? All I know is that it has the Garmin software. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a bunch!
I will try it this weekend. Any idea if it does alerts for safety zones? It didn't specify in the thread.

Sorry, I have no idea since I don't own one.

Humm, I'm going to try this, I was told you couldn't do custom POI's on the 430N.

I didn't follow the instructions exactly the first time I tried and the transfer failed, I re-read the instructions and tried again and now I have custom poi's in my "extras" folder on the GPS.

But did it work?
Does it alert you with safety zones?
Ford sync
I wonder if this would work on a Ford with the sync system. I read somewhere (wikipedia maybe?) that the sync system uses Garmin software.
It most likely won't work at all but it does make me curious. Of course I really don't USE the built in nav system - I use my trusty nüvi 760.
EDIT: Looking into the map updates I have discovered that Ford uses a system made by Clarion.

Passed by a few red light camera POI's I loaded and the alert and pop-up worked perfectly.
I only loaded red light, speed cameras, along with known speed trap files, if that's what you mean by "safety zone" then yep, worked fine.

No good on Ford
Followed directions exactly. Only one USB port in my 2011 Taurus. Never got the popup for the install. Poop.

Does the Ford have a UConnect 430N? The direction are for that specific unit.
My first attempt at a Poi load failed but I missed naming the folder poi.gpi, once I did that ot worked like a charm.

Perfect!
Perfect!
I wasn't able to get to it last weekend. My family and I took advantage of the warm weather and went to the beach!
But it's nice to know that it works just right!
Works!
Works as expected!!
Yep
Works as expected!!
Updated the RLC SC database a couple times, experimented with how far in advance the alert pops up too. Great to know this is possible and works, especially since I was told you couldn't on the built in units.
