For the rst step of the installation process, please begin by connecting your navigation
system to your PC with a USB cable. The device will be recognised as a removable storage
device.
Note: 2 removable storage devices will be shown in My Computer – the rst is the
internal memory of the navigation system and the second is the memory card which
has been inserted into the navigation system. The navigation software is located on the
internal memory of the navigation system. Depending on the number of USB devices you

2. Installing the synchronisation software onto your PC
In order to install the Overlays from POI FINDER onto your Becker navigation system,
you rst need to install the synchronisation software onto your PC. Simply start the Web
Downloader on the CD/DVD and follow the installation instructions.
During the rst installation, you will be asked if you would like the positions of xed speed
cameras in Europe to be installed on your navigation system. If you would like this data to
be installed, click “YES”, if not, click “NO”. Your rst installation is completely free of charge;
only a data update would carry a cost, and this can be selected from our Premium Content
Shop.
Note: The laws pertaining to the use of speed camera data are not standardised
throughout the EU. It is up to you to check if the use of such data is legal in the country
in which you are driving. In Germany, for example, the use of such data whilst driving is
illegal.
Following a successful installation, and for following updates, you can start the
synchronisation software by clicking on “Start -> All Programs -> POI FINDER 3 5 (Becker)
-> POI FINDER 3 5 (Becker)”.

Additional POI services (e.g. car parks, cash machines, pharmacies, and much more) can
be installed and updated using the POI FINDER Sync-Tool installed on your PC.
After launching the tool, a list of available Points of Interest and Insider Tips will open
automatically.
The program dierentiates between services that are cost-free and those which are
provided at a cost to the user: those which are marked with a star (*) require the user to
pay a fee; all of those without a star are free and can be used and updated immediately.
At this point, please ensure once again that your computer is connected to the internet.

Online Content Shop. Alternatively, you can call us on the following number: +49 (0)

Whilst selecting POIs, you may change between the dierent categories and select POIs
and Insider Tips from them. The POI FINDER software will remember your selections from

Before you can start the synchronisation, you must enter a valid postcode into the
“Postcode” eld. You must also determine the radius within which POIs should be
synchronised. (only required for POIs from the server D/A/CH).
After selecting the POIs and Insider Tips you wish to install, click on the
“Start synchronisation” button.
The POIs you have selected will then be downloaded via your internet connection and

complete, the message “Last synchronisation successful” will be displayed in the status
line in the lower section of the navigation system’s screen. After downloading all of your

navigating the main menu following the rst synchronisation.
Should you no longer need them, you can remove all POIs installed by the POI FINDER
Sync-Tool by pressing the “Delete POIs from device” button.
Note: The additional POIs and Insider Tips which you have installed using the Sync-Tool
can be retrieved on your Becker navigation system by clicking “Select Destination -> Enter
destination -> Select Point of Interest -> POI nearby -> POI FINDER”.
In order to be alerted by sound of possible danger spots, you must activate sound
warnings by following “Settings -> Navigation settings -> Danger spots”. However, this
can only be done with an active GPS signal.
