As soon as the installation process is complete, the PC Synctool or POI-Warner
(depending on version) will start automatically. Depending on the version, there
may be an initial start of the POI-Warner needed at the device side. This will read
out the ID to be able to register from the PC-Synctool side. So, simply make sure
the POI-Warner at device side has started at least one time at all before continuing
with the next steps.

transaction number with your registration code).

Possible Problems
The POI-Warner cannot
establish an Internet
connection: the name of the
server is displayed in the
Source window, but all
other fields (Category and
the list of overlays ) remain
empty.
Solutions
Was your computer connected to the Internet before you connected
your device to the computer and started the POI-Warner? If not,
please reconnect the device and try again.
If you access the Internet via a proxy server, open the Menu Extras >
Settings > Proxy, select Proxy Server and enter the proxy address
in the first slot and the Port in the second slot Proxy Port. If you
have a proxy username and a password, enter these in the next two
slots. Then click on Apply.
If the problem persists:
See Installing Overlays Manually (…) in the appendix.
If the problem persists:
A general connection problem can arise in numerous circumstances
and may depend on the configuration of other devices or programs
involved in the process, for example, the network configuration, the
firewall configuration or the operating system configuration. Please
check all these settings to make sure nothing is blocking the
connection.
If you cannot pinpoint the problem, please contact poihandler at:
www.poihandler.com/contact.aspx
5
Switch to the menu Extras > Settings and enter your poihandler username
in the field www.poihandler.com Username (synchronisation), and click on OK.

category via the menu item Edit > Select all of Category.
You can switch between the various categories if you wish, the POI-Warner “remembers”
what was selected from each category for the synchronisation. If you select overlays from
non-free categories without having subscribed to these beforehand, these overlays will not
be synchronised and you will get an error message.
7
After selecting the required overlays, click on Start Synchronisation!
The overlays will download via your Internet connection and be automatically copied into

POI-Warner will detect any extant configuration automatically. When accessing the settings
the first time, or if no prior configuration has taken place, a dialogue will appear offering
the setup of an automatic configuration. Confirm this dialogue with OK
3
The automatic configuration attempt may require a soft reset followed by a restart of the
navigation software, depending upon the system involved. The POI-Warner will then be
restarted automatically and the configuration window reopened. In this case, wait until the
screen has been built up (this may take a few seconds) and then repeat step 2. A further
reset and restart will not be required.

After the automatic configuration you will receive a message reporting that the procedure
was successful. Confirm this message to display the detected and suggested configuration
(the picture serves as an example).

Installing Overlays Manually as Opposed to Using the Automatic Synchronisation
You can also download overlays to your PC from:
www.poihandler.com/members/poidownload.aspx.
The data available there is zipped and needs to be unpacked with an appropriate program
(e.g. WinZip). Make sure you have installed the latest version of Microsoft Active Sync or
the Windows Mobile Device Center (Windows Vista), connected your device to the
computer and switched it on. Then copy the required files (in each case an .asc file with
the POI data and a .bmp file with the icon for the map display) into the POI-Warner subdirectory pois.
This process replaces the synchronisation if this is not possible for whatever reason.
