[gps-talkusers] Re: Sendero Releases New Maps and POIs

Hello everyone,
I better make it clear that we only added more countries we have not updated any existing 2008 maps. So if you already have your map then you have the latest.
We added the following countries: HongKong, Malaysia, Singapore, Belgium, Norway, and Portugal. 

Thanks
Charles

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays!
Sendero is pleased to announce the release additional maps and over 2.2 Million POIs.
For all countries listed below the new RMF POI's can be found once you log in to your mysendero website using your serial number and password just like you did to download your maps originally.
The RMF POIs for the Ireland can be found in the single package located in the UK maps directory.
The additional POIs are contained in the zip file "2008POIs_RMF_CountryName.zip" Eg. "2008POIs_RMF_USA.zip" The zip file contains 2 files a pdb and an rmf file both of these files should be copied over to your maps folder.
Not all of these POIs will be unique and you may get duplicates when using these new POIs. These new POIs are optional and its up to you if you want them or not. You can tell if the POI is from this file by looking in the "Tags" Field and if there is the text "RMF" then it is a POI from this new data set. Don't forget you could even search for "RMF" in the "Tags" field during an advance search to give you an idea of the data this new file contains.
By the way, "RMF" stands for "Rich Map Format" which is the map format we use. We extracted these embedded POIs from the RMF maps you currently have and made available these POI's which you had but didn't have access to. These POIs are provided by the map company themselves as a basic set of POIs for their maps. So as a result some of these POIs like the City POI category will be in their embedded map POIs and also their premium POIs which Sendero also licenses and you already have. There was no easy way to remove these duplicates but the additional POIs we feel out weigh the occasional duplicate POI.
Here is a complete list of Countries which have been released and the number of additional POIs for each Country. 

Enjoy and Happy Holidays everyone!
