A few questions:
Quote:The only fields that MUST have values are 1 to 8
Unfortunately, the information for two fields does not exist:
Quote:7. Country and state poi file in system
8. Country and state for the point of interest
If you can determine that the location is geographically in North America you can use _c** or _u** and let the user fix the record. The real question is where the lat and long are. If you can determine that you can fill in the rest, but the user always can look at the map and fill in the correct values based on that. From my point of view always use _c** and let me fix them.
Can they be left empty or filled with a fixed value? Like
Quote:4. Type of POI - use Parking and change it later
Quote:The file is put into FlashDisk\Navi\Save directory in a 'hacked' ASUS R300 using the Mio hack, and then it works perfectly.
Which software does the R300 use? And what is hacked there? How many users hack their devices?
The ASUS R300 uses custom software written by ASUS and likely the ASUS R700 uses the same software, the only difference being the screen size. The Mio Hack is available to all users and is used in Europe. As for North America, I could not say, since most of North America seems to be Garmin and Tom Tom crazy. However if you do a quick search for Mio Hack of ASUS it shows up immediately, and is kept current.
The problem with the unhacked unit is that there is no way into the Flash memory, and the concept of using KLM files does not seem to work if you put them on the microSD card. You can manually add all the user poi data you want one at a time via the touch screen, but that is a real tedious pain in the rump.
FWIW
