Title: Poi's disappearing on Discover Nav
Post by: mcmaddy on 03 September 2020, 21:27: Has anyone had any issues with Poi's disappearing from the screen. Not just my own speedcam ones but the preloaded ones built in disappear on start up. To get them back I have to press nav button twice. They've been perfectly fine for the last month but all of a sudden they've started to vanish. I've already reset the head unit which makes no difference. Anyone else had this issue?

have you got any selected Watts? By default none are selected so you'd have to pick the ones you wanted to show.

Okay, thanks, probably not.

Post by: mcmaddy on 04 September 2020, 08:13: So an update this morning. Started the car this morning and all POIs gone. Deleted all my own POIs from the memory and selected the pre installed petrol stations, VW's own poi. Drove to work and not one petrol station showing :grin:
Reset the unit and even though my own POIs had been deleted it was showing Shell petrol stations! Also noticed that the first poi in the list is Autostadt so looks like incorrect software or firmware is on the unit as that's German.

Post by: Sootchucker on 04 September 2020, 08:30: Weird bud. Never had an issue like that on mine. Did you spring for the Discover Pro version or the standard 8" Discover Navigation ?

Post by: mcmaddy on 04 September 2020, 12:47: Went for the standard but wish I'd gone pro now :grin:
To get them to return I have to press the view buttton, until POIs and then retick it.

Post by: mcmaddy on 04 September 2020, 12:48: Can others with standard Discover Nav check to see if Autostadt is available as a poi in the drop-down.

Post by: Sootchucker on 04 September 2020, 16:17: Chris, yes Autostadt appears as one of the POI categories on mine too.

cheers, do your POIs remain on the screen without disappearing?

I don't ever recall seeing it on the nav pro. I can see this issue dragging on for months if the dealer can't find an issue straight away. Sounds like my glovebox brain is having an issue.
