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!
