It's not clear at the moment as my German isn't great and the online translations leave a lot to be desired.
At the moment it seems to cot 20 euros (30 euros after Christmas) and from what I can tell you get the software and access to POI downloads?

Still waiting for a reply about the English version, also noticed that the French section of the site doesn't show it yet.
Either the software isn't translated yet or they just haven't got round to updating the other webpages I don't know.

Soon as I get a reply about the English version I'll update this post.
Looking at the screenshot's it's more than just a POI placed on the map it adds a extra overlay on the map.

It's well overdue... what I do find odd is it's available for the 8110 and 7210, yet Navigon themselves can't make the curve warner available for the 8110 (due to software differences???)

Thanks for that, it kind of puts me off buying the Navigon because you have to pay/use POI warner, all adds up, at least you should be able to add POI in Navigon 7!!

The critical question is, will the PocketGPSWorld camera database be fully compatible with it.

As a long-time Navigon fan I've bought POI Warner for Navigon 4 and for Navigon 6, and if it integrates fully with Navigon 7 I'll buy a 2110 Max. That's the only thing that's been holding me back...

Of course, it is always possible (though I'm not holding my breath - a life-threatening action with them) that Navigon will be including this in a software update of their own.

I have asked them. I think I will try to hold off buying it from navigating.de until I get a reply, if I can resist the temptation.

I'm too tempted to buy it and not wait Sad

Just found this on the v6 section of the English website which seems to suggest custom POI can be transfered in this way

http://www.navigating.de/cms/index.php?id=4937

Have got the software from the German site as it offers English and I have it installed on the 8110 (was very easy), however I can't navigate the German ordering section to get a unlock code so will have to wait for the English pages to be up. Sad

Would have been nice if it gave a few days demo.

Well I've been impatient too and ordered a 2150 Max from Amazon for £159.99 plus postage. At that price it's little more than a 2110 Max, and adds Text to Speech, which I probably would have paid for anyway as a download if I'd bought the 2110 Max, and Bluetooth, which I'm not bothered about. (Might be different when I've tried it though).

Jonandmark - have you bought and paid for POI Warner for MN7? Am I right in thinking the program won't run without the unlock code? Just wondering if it will run in English when you do unlock it

Emailed the PoiWarner support and sales the other day and they say they hope to release to UK within the next week 22-26 Dec 2008.

Lets see what happens but looking forward to buying it for my Navigon.

Just got the following reply from Navigon Support:

Just a huge shame that it looks like they are not going to sort the UK ordering page this side of Christmas Crying or Very sad

It's annoying as if you download the software from the German page it offers to install in English so the software is ready, seems they just need to sort out the website.

Oh well.... sure I'll have other things to play with over Christmas Wink

I shouldn't be so sad that I'm here today - but as I am, I hope you all had a good Xmas, and all the best for 2009.

Anyway, Navigating.de have just sent me this:
