If the files on the DVD are readable, would it be feasible (I don't say easy...) to write a modification which would allow us to add to the categories that the Sat-Nav knows how to read ?
I.E, would it be possible to write a program which would allow us to translate P.O.I meant for another GPS system into a file which could be burn and used instead of the regular Sat-Nav DVD ?
The idea ? To be able to know about Radar and Speed-traps...
In theory. The KIWI file spec is open and available on the internet. The trick will be taking the DVD, re-creating the KIWI files to include the new POI category, assign an icon for it, and then entering the Coordinates for the POIs. Then re-burning the DVD with the new files, and hoping it all works.

I was thinking on something like a converter for the files that exists on some websites for those kind of P.O.Is...
But I agree that is would not be easy and probably outside of my abilities...
