I don't think so, because I used same dvd_RW for all maps.

Yes, I have, no problem with that.
Actually I did it at least a few times, that's reason that both maps 2009_2 and before 2009_1 works good.

Maybe my 2010 corrupted in some way? I will look for another one.

^^Sorry mate, I may have not said it properly, thats what I meant, the 2010 disc (image) is bad (I mean your 2010 map image is bad), not the dvd-rw.

Have you tried the an oem v32 (OS loaded on your mk4) and an OEM (non modded) 2010 disc, that will help diagnose if it's Poison.

it's came on my mind too.

Thanks mate, good idea, v32 OEM & moded against 2010 OEM & poisoned. Let you know results in a couple of days, becuase I'm scheduled tomorrow in BMW for first oil service.

Hey guys, I seems to have got the first part no problem but I'm sticking on the POISON part. 1 I did no problem, 2 I can get poison to run but when I go forward and then select the DB file that I have saves in a folder on the desktop called maps it crashes poison every time.

E:Adding POI to map database:
1. Copy map database from CD/DVD to the hard drive (bibliogr and carindb files are enough fo CD, bibliogr and DB folder for DVD maps).
2. Run poison.exe, open map folder (folder where bibliogr file located)
3. Add your own POI or import from plain lon/lat txt or csv file.
Take a look at http://www.poiplaza.com/index.php?p=...pg=ds&lsts=616
You can use: iGO 8 txt, iGo txt, GARMIN csv, destinator asc, mio asc, navigon asc, route 66 csv and tomtom asc files from there.
4. Save modified database
5. Insert modified database (carindb file of DB folder) back to image using UltraIso.

OK I've got poison to run on my other machine.

Let me check I am trying to do the correct steps now.

I have place the BD file and BIBLIOGR file from the map disk into the folder POISON.

I then run the exe POISON and click forward.

From there I select a click select a map database folder and browse to the folder DB within the directory POISON.

I then get an error message saying. Unable to open database files.

1: what version of windows are you running
2: what version of the GTK libs are you running
3: don't save on the desktop, make a dir in the root dir (c:\bmw\db and c:\bmw\db1)
4: have you set the decimal point to . (and not ,).

Hi there, thanks for your response.

I'm running windows 7.

gtk2-runtime-2.14.7-2009-01-13-ash I linked to it from earlier in the thread.

I had not done that with the directories but I have now. I created a directory called bmw and put the DB file from the disk image in there along with the BIBLIOGR file and created a new folder called DB1 within the same BMW directory.

As for the ./, thing, I'm not sure how to change/check that on windows 7.

In win7, right clik on desktop and select personalize, then "all control panel items" then "region and language", then "additional settings", its the first option.

Keep the dir names small (less than 7 chars), and dont use spaces.

so

c:\bmw\db (for oem db files)
c:\bmw\db1 (for modded db files)

Give that a go mate.
