Were you using a different/blank SD card for the POIs? After I installed the MAP update from the included SD card, I never used that card again.
The POIs were copied to my own blank card as instructed by Pioneer.
Did you format the card first or was it already formated? I checked the properties on my card and it says FAT32.
I continue to get the error. You only have the one folder and the one file in the root of the SD?
Guys, what really annoying me in my U310BT is a shortage of street names on map, just a bunch of lines with very few names of major streets, especially in small towns. I am wondering if new map upgrade will improve this. Those who already installed it - do you see more street names added to map vs. old version?

No, this is still a weak spot. My old Magellan GPS had much better detail in the maps, so I don't know why these maps in the 310BT lack detail.
Does the software update add a clock to the audio menus or is it still only available on the map screen?
No, this is still a weak spot. My old Magellan GPS had much better detail in the maps, so I don't know why these maps in the 310BT lack detail.
Thanks!

Nope. Still missing. They must have given this product to the junior developers

Just a note, have tried to zoom in,, When I zoom in I get more detail.
What are the exact steps you took?
I've just tried downloading the file again from Pioneer's update page and I still get the "Cannot be used with this version" message. The link on my update page points to a file named AVIC-U220_POI.zip, which seems to be the update data for the U220. Is that the same file you've downloaded?
I've bought this card way too long ago and would be really nice to finally have the POIs working.
Thanks.
I have the exact same problem. The only reason I bought this update was for the POIs. This is BULLSHIT! Has anyone gotten this to work?
For those of you who updated and were able to get the POIs to work, what firmware does it say you are running?

Service Info Screen: Version 2.0001
One thing that may be unclear is that after you've installed the map/system update. You must go back to the Pioneer website to generate a new password based on Device ID and POI Media Number Card #
Has anyone figured out how to hide the Eco graph on the navigation screen display after the update? Even with the all of the Eco modes set to off, the graph still takes space on the screen.

Ah ha! Mine says version 2.0000. Hopefully I can get Pioneer to send me an update from 2.0000 to 2.0001.
So I called Pioneer and after spending over an hour on the phone and getting shuffled from support to warranty to parts I finally got a hold of someone who could help me. The lady I talked to in their parts department said there was a problem with the update and that she would send me an update which will bring my unit to 2.0001. So if anyone else is having this problem call their parts department directly and ask for the 2.001 update.
I'll post back when I get the update.
Did they required you to send in the original SD card back?
Nope
Well, I got the update and it's the wrong thing. It's the same update that's on their website.

What do you mean "on their website"? The map/system update comes on a SD card right?
No it's an old update. The one before the map update.

Sorry I'm not aware of the earlier update. I think this thread is concerning the latest map/system update distributed via a SD card and the associated POI's update which is distributed via a download.
Which is why I said it was the wrong thing. They sent me 1.0003. I needed 2.001.

Hey I'm just trying to help - don't be a jerk. I think what you are saying is that you purchased the map/system update on a SD card that resulted in system version 2.000. You asked Pioneer to send you the latest version 2.0001 and they sent you an even older version 1.0003?
That is correct. Did not mean to be rude.
Well no luck with Pioneer tech support. I talked to the parts department and they connected me to navigation which told me I had to contact warranty. The warranty department said there is nothing they can do and that I have to contact navigation, so I hung up and called parts again and tried to see if there was anyway they could get me the right update.
Because I didn't buy the update through them I can't exchange it for the correct update and the lady told me that the only thing I could do is send it in for repair on my own dime. It is completely absurd that I have to send it in for repair just to get my unit updated from 2.000 to 2.001.
I've always wondered how someone could be so upset that they would never deal with a company again, but now I understand completely. This is the worst head unit pioneer has ever released, and their support is so bad I never want to deal with them again.
I think the easiest way at this point is having someone with the newer v2.001 SD card to upload the contents for us. That is if there's anyone willing to do it.
Hopefully we can find someone willing to do it. Maybe send one of us it burned to a disc, and we can put it on an SD card ourselves, then send the disc to the next person in this thread having a problem. I wouldn't mind doing that.
In the meantime, could one of you who have a properly working update give me the UPC that's on the box?
The UPC on my defective update is 884938121323. Also written on the box is CZH8641-A. I am trying to see if there is a way of distinguishing which of these are bad without opening them.
