Plug the unit into a computer using the USB cable.

Look for MN6\Settings\Favorites.storage and open it in a text editor

You will see entries like below, except that they usually have more information. The below is an example of the bare minimum that is required, a waypoint name, lat and lon. For each waypoint, modify the line below with the appropriate information and add it to the file

You can insert the information manually if you have a few waypoints or create a script to help automate the process.

I don't know why, but the format seems to require the [0][17] and the 49 at the end.

If it is based on the same problem-ridden 7100/5100 software, it won't.

Look for announcements of fixes to the bad 7100/5100 routing and POI bugs. If you don't see them I would stay away from this.]]>Sep 9th 2007 8:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/navigon-2100-3-5-inches-of-3d-navigation-for-the-cheap-seats/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/navigon-2100-3-5-inches-of-3d-navigation-for-the-cheap-seats/Nov 13th 2007 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/navigon-2100-3-5-inches-of-3d-navigation-for-the-cheap-seats/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/navigon-2100-3-5-inches-of-3d-navigation-for-the-cheap-seats/Nov 16th 2007 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/navigon-2100-3-5-inches-of-3d-navigation-for-the-cheap-seats/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/navigon-2100-3-5-inches-of-3d-navigation-for-the-cheap-seats/Jan 23rd 2008 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/navigon-2100-3-5-inches-of-3d-navigation-for-the-cheap-seats/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/navigon-2100-3-5-inches-of-3d-navigation-for-the-cheap-seats/ the SD chip were bad for all the units sent to Staples

Not all. I just bought mine from Staples yesterday and it worked great out of the box.

You may need to use the car charger that came with the unit. I guess it as the traffic antenna built in.
