Navigon waypoint conversion

Rate this Message:
I got my wife a Navigon 7100 GPS and needed to copy over her Garmin
waypoints. I did not find anything in GPSbabel, but found enough of a clue out there to create the following style for the GPSbabel XCSVoutput. Please consider posting it to the Wiki. The output is incomplete, but seems sufficient for the unit to read the file and recognize the points. When opened, the unit seems to fill in some of the blank fields with things like adjacent streetnames. # gpsbabel XCSV style file # # DESCRIPTION Navigon 7100 SHORTLEN 8 # # # FILE LAYOUT DEFINITIIONS: # FIELD_DELIMITER | RECORD_DELIMITER NEWLINE BADCHARS | # # INDIVIDUAL DATA FIELDS, IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE: # OFIELD SHORTNAME, "","[%-.14s " OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "","]" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","[0][17]" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD LON_DECIMAL, "", "%08.5f" OFIELD LAT_DECIMAL, "", "%08.5f" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","49" tg. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Hi, Tom.
T Thanx for writing. If you can offer a paragraph describing this format (how to use it, how to get data to/from the Navigon, associated versions, etc.) and a sample file that we can add to the test suite, I'll add this so that future Navigon users can benefit. Since we already support "Navigon Mobile Navigator", please be prepared to explain to those of us w/o Navigon units how they're releated. Thanx!

Hi, sorry for the long delay in responding. I got the Navigon unit for
my wife and had to transfer all her Garmin waypoints, thus my quest. She ended up not liking the unit and we returned it, so I haven't been able to explore any further. > If you can offer a paragraph describing this format (how to use it, > how to get data to/from the Navigon, associated versions, etc.) and a > sample file that we can add to the test suite, I'll add this so that > future Navigon users can benefit. All I know of the format came from a post at http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/01/navigon-2100-3-5-inches-of-3d-navigation-for-the-cheap-seats/, which didn't offer much insight either. The file is ASCII text that can be manipulated with tools like Notepad. To actually manipulate the file on the unit, use a USB cable or SD card reader and work with "MN6\Settings\Favorites.storage". As I noted originally, the waypoints can be created with a minimal amount of data, and the unit will fill in the other fields on use. The other fields appear to be references the unit infers, such as nearby streets. > Since we already support "Navigon Mobile Navigator", please be > prepared to explain to those of us w/o Navigon units how they're > releated. The current "Navigon" format appears to be the route file format (.rte, mn4), not the waypoint/placemark format (.storage). Your wiki states that the route format only handles one route; the waypoint format supports multiple waypoints. The XCSV file is: # gpsbabel XCSV style file # # DESCRIPTION Navigon 7100 SHORTLEN 8 # # # FILE LAYOUT DEFINITIIONS: # FIELD_DELIMITER | RECORD_DELIMITER NEWLINE BADCHARS | # # INDIVIDUAL DATA FIELDS, IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE: # OFIELD SHORTNAME, "","[%-.14s " OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "","]" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","[0][17]" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD LON_DECIMAL, "", "%08.5f" OFIELD LAT_DECIMAL, "", "%08.5f" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","" OFIELD CONSTANT, "%s","49" Some example waypoints: [BEACHPARK ||]|[0][17]|||-80.13069|32.58772|||||||||||||||49 [COSTCO ||]|[0][17]|||-80.03572|32.79611|||||||||||||||49 [EXCHG PARK ||]|[0][17]|||-80.10486|33.00074|||||||||||||||49 [GRMTWN ||]|[0][17]|||121.64027|25.06178|||||||||||||||49 [VPI ||]|[0][17]|||-80.41549|37.22802|||||||||||||||49 tg. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Gpsbabel-misc mailing list http://www.gpsbabel.org Gpsbabel-misc@...
