New to the Porsche Navi and have some questions for anyone familiar with it. It would appear I have PCM 3.1 V4.76 and my understanding is that for a 981 Boxster that is reasonably up to date.

Having played around with it I have managed to locate a destination and then export it to a USB stick formatted to FAT32. The resultant file is in a .navi format which as far as I can make out is specific to Porsche Navi, but happy to be corrected on that. I can then delete the original destination stored on the navi and then import it back in from the USB again, so that much I can do.

Finally my question, how do I find a destination and get it saved to the USB so I can import it and keep it in my stored destinations to be used later as part of a trip?

I must be missing something obvious here because on the face of it Porsche have made this a lot harder than it need be, hopefully someone will tell me what I am missing.

Many thanks in advance for any input.

As far as I can make out the only purpose for Porsche to have created the .navi file is to move stored destinations from one Porsche to another.
