I have a Tevion GPS (Navigon) & a Logic Gear GPS (iGO/NavNGo).
Do you support their methods of storing POIs, and user POIs ?
The Tevion one seems to store all maps data (POIs, streets, borders, logos) in 1 big 135Mb file, called Australia.map. It's compressed using the SFS method, which I'm still not sure about.
I'd like to add to it, and remove old POIs which are long gone.
Any programmer out there who could help me?
I'm a prorgammer, but I can't work this one out.
Also, the iGo.db file used by the Logic Gear GPS, programmed by the Hungarians at NavNGo. Any software tool that can export/import to that ?
I've also noticed that different programmes use different methods for storing the lat/long in binary (ASCII) bytes.
Some are 3+3 bytes and others like 7+7 bytes. Confusing!
Thanks.

Hi
It is their responsibility to ensure compatibility with more popular GPS POI formats (e.g. KML, CSV or GPX).
We are happy to add them to our supported POI format list if they contact us and provide some basic specification of their requirements.
Regards

You should at the very least provide a csv format template you can replicate. If so I guess you can just edit the csv files here to correspond with the fields of the model you use.
I know you've probably already thought of all this. But in case anyone else comes by this post with a similar model, it maybe helpful.
Sounds like you might need to run out & buy one of the more common ones. Help obviously then is abundant. Follow the hoard, few of us have the time to fiddle like we use to
