15. IOIs (Items of Interest)
15.1 IOIs (Items of Interest) Overview
IOIs are Items of Interest and are non geo-
referenced documents. They include digital
information that can be saved on the unit,
such as a graphic showing information about
a species of a bird or ower. They can also
be used to reference instructions, e.g. how to
make a camp re or rst aid tips.
An IOI is not necessarily assigned to a specic
point on the map. (If the item was plotted
against a specic point on the map, it would be
a POI). An IOI contains no latitude or longitude
data. It can be created directly on the unit as
a simple text description, and details of the IOI
are shown on the description screen.
Note: If you want to add graphics or more
detailed information, you are able to create
an IOI on your computer and import it to
your unit via SatSYNC. (Please refer to the
SatSYNC 1.5 User Guide provided on the
CD or downloadable from satmap.com). This
employs the use of a tab delimited plain text
le containing OOI data in different columns
and is used for creating routes, POIs, AOIs,
LOIs, as well as IOIs.
15.2 Add an IOI
(GPS MAP → MAIN MENU → OOI Menu →
Add IOI)
To create an IOI, highlight the Add IOI option
from the OOI Menu and press Select or centre
press the joystick. This will take you straight to
the keypad to prompt you to rename your IOI.
When an IOI is created it is called 'IOI 1' by
default (or similar, depending on the number
of existing OOIs). Use the joystick to rename
your IOI and then press Done when complete.
The Edit Description screen appears and
this is where you can add a brief description
using the keypad. This information is shown in
the IOI. Pressing Done takes you back to the
OOI Menu. To view your IOI, go to the OOI
Folders.
15.3 Add IOI in a Specic Folder
(MAIN MENU → OOI Menu → OOI Folders
→ specic folder → nal subfolder → Back →
Add IOI)
This will add the IOI to the last visited folder.
Note: Folders are created using SatSYNC and
must contain at least one OOI or route to be
visible on the unit. (See SatSYNC User Guide
for more information).
15.4 IOI Details Screen
(GPS MAP → MAIN MENU → OOI Menu →
OOI Folders → Select IOI → Show Details)
This screen shows the description included in
the IOI and is titled by the current IOI name.
Graphics and more detailed information
created on a computer and imported onto
the unit can be viewed on this screen. (See
SatSYNC 1.5 User Guide).
An IOI contains information that is for reference
only. Therefore there are no options to adjust
visibility as an IOI does not appear on the map,
and no date or time 'stamp' is shown.
