CID displays POI on the map which is useful for finding a petrol station etc in an unfamiliar area.

Infact displaying anything other than your fuel consumption is a plus point!  

How do you get POI's I don't get that option on the NCDC2013  

At least ... I haven't found it yet !!!

[VXL V6]

Select the menu option "Functions" in the Map menu
Select the menu option "Settings"
Select the menu option "Map Options"
Select the display options (tick all the POI you want to display)

[Marks DTM Calib]

Select the map options 'functions' in the map menu

Select 'settings'

Select 'map options'

Tick the POI's you want displaying!


And I dont even have mine fitted in the car!

When I firt powered it up the bloody display was in German....soon fixed that bugger!

Mine occasionally flips to German on powerup, then goes to English... probably realises the error of it's ways when it gets a GPS fix!

Thanks to both ....  

I guess this is limited to the POI's on the CD ?? No way of adding others like you can with TomTom ??

I find the satnav extremely poor compared to TT, it's clunky and difficult to use, does not recognise half the addresses I try to input, but the display is good and the instructions pretty concise.

It's not a patch on a TomTom, but I find it generally does the job, would be so much better if it accepted post codes  

POI are limited to what's on the disc, Petrol Stations, Hotels, Hospitals, Railway Stations etc.

I was quite impressed with the GID!

Yup, the NCDC/GID combo works well.  NCDC/CID just works better imho.

Probably teaching you to suck eggs, but when you put CID in, when all paired and right code index, you may need to go Programming > Adjust contrast on Tech2

Thanks for that .. guess the TT will remain ... I find the speedcamera warnings usefull and downloadable POI's good (especially in France). I will be putting the LPG POI's on shortly ..

Yeh the Speed Camera POI for various Sat Navs is a good edition. When I can be bothered I use my PDA / Bluetooth GPS with this software - http://www.cameraware.net/ Single £19.99 charge and free updates for life.

Well, it successfuly guided us to Chester and back with no fault  

Its nice to have a woman (who has been nick named Dorris) in the car talking to you and not complaining!

This was all installed without touching the car wiring loom!

And the aerial seems to be functioning reasonably well just behind the instrument panel.

I've nearly sorted out one in prefacelift (as a backup for when my phone goes flat - you get too used to satnav, and when you don't have it, you're knackered!), only my 1998 needs the TC button moving, and doesn't have the plug to connect the carin loom to body loom   - yet my 1998 tractor does  :-/

Ever since I got my first satnav (on iPaq) back 2003 ish, its always just been called 'bird', in a sexist kind of way

Sadly, I didn't name her.

I really was pretty impressed with it though, its the added benefits where it turns the stereo volume down when it provides the instructions etc that is really good and the pictogram seems pretty effective to.

Still, the CID should be here this week.

Ow yes, when you fitted your Bose setup where the holes in the back shelf already marked out at all?

No, sadly not.  But I had a tractor here, which allowed my to judge where the grills go (and cut the slits for the clips).  I used some photos from ebay auction of blind to judge where to cut out the D shape holes for speaker.
