Sygic Rupi Converter Download
It was already possible to get Points of Interest for a country and download them for your use. And now it is also possible to select the countries you would like,.
After some time, I'm able to put up another HOWTO on how to POI-ify your smartphones
Sygic GPS is presently available for the US for approximately US$24 (Euros 19.99) and as of version 11.2 (now out for some time) it will have the capability of using POIs (in Garmin CSV format) after conversion with a free tool.
The actual Sygic converter is now out, so these instructions have been revised a bit..
In the case of Sygic (much like iGO for WinMo) it does use its own format of POI, but--as it turns out--it is extremely easy to convert the stuff on POI Factory to use with Sygic GPS.
I've based the following on a combination of info from a POI Factory thread on Sygic standalone GPSrs (http://www.poi-factory.com/node/20454#comment-116183) and the info on Sygic's website (http://www.sygic.com/en/poi) to do a unified HOWTO.
Anyways, the HOWTO, a simple ballet of five steps:
STEP 1: Download the POIs you want from POI Factory, along with any icon files--the good news is that Sygic is a LOT more forgiving of BMP format than most GPS programs, with its standard being a 100x100 size BMP that can use either 8-bit or 32-bit colour depth. (If it's below that size, Sygic will resize it.)
Don't sweat the format (whether it's CSV or GPX--you probably want to go with one of those formats). We're going to feed them into Extra_POI_Editor at any rate.
STEP 2: Now we're going to convert this into a format Sygic RUPI Converter understands--and as it turns out, you only need two tools which you may already own, being a fellow POIhead Mukta kannada serial cast.
Grab a copy of Extra POI Editor (yes, you want Extra POI Editor specifically) if you don't have one already, and we're going to set it up as follows:
a) Under Options/M-Column CSV Fields, type in the name 'Sygic RUPI text', and set the columns as follows:
Col 1 = Longitude, Col 2 = Latitude, Col 3 = POI Name, Col 4 = 'Address, City, State', Col 5 = Phone, Col 6 = Fax, Col 7 = Link, Col 8 = Email, Col 9 = Comment, Col 10 = Description. Hit 'Close', and there you go.
(This actually gets it pretty much to the format Sygic's RUPI converter likes, save for using commas except for pipes. We'll fix that in a sec.)
Load your files, save 'em as 'M-Column CSV', lather, rinse, repeat until all your POIs are converted. (This is easily the most tedious part of the job. Unfortunately, there's not really good batch tools to do this; POI Edit bobbits stuff from GPX files after the Description, and I like to keep those intact because Sygic's POI format can actually USE these!)
b) Grab a good text editor--I prefer Notepad++, which is free as in beer and as in speech and handles large text files wonderfully.
Add the following line at the VERY start of the file:
delimiter=,
Save and close out.
Open Sygic RUPI Converter, drag and drop your CSV files, select 'Convert to RUPI'. (Really, it couldn't be simpler. Yes, it works in batch format, unlike the conversion.)
STEP 4: This varies depending on whether you're using the Android or iPhone versions of Sygic GPS:
STEP 4A (Android): Connect Android to PC via USB cable, mount as USB drive, copy the BMP and newly minted UPI file to /Aura/maps/import, disconnect Android, start up Sygic GPS. It should automatically start up a wizard to import these.
(Yes, the official docs say it's in /Sygic/Aura/maps/import, but it ended up in just /Aura/maps/import in my case. Go figure.)
STEP 4B (iPhone): There's two ways to do this for iPhone--the Sygic-approved manner, and a secondary method documented on Pocket GPS World meant for speed cameras (http://www.pocketgpsworld.com//modules.php?name=Forums&file=..). I personally recommend the former approach because the other method requires a jailbroken iPhone, a proprietary app (that costs $10 unless you're a student) and is just a PITA compared with the Sygic method.
STEP 4C (Symbian):
Very similar to that of the Android, hook up phone to computer or hook up SD card and copy to X:/Sygic/auramaps/import (where X is your SD card directory). Sygic will automagically detect the new POIs and add them in.
SYGIC's METHOD: Launch iTunes, connect iPhone, go to 'Apps' tab, select 'Sygic Navigation' in 'File Sharing', drag and drop UPI and BMP files into 'Sygic', sync iPhone, start Sygic and go through the wizard.
CREATING APPROPRIATE BITMAP FILES FOR SYGIC ICONS:
Sygic's default format is..a bit bigger than the default on POI Factory (much like other POIable smartphone apps, it uses larger than the 22x22 8-bit BMP format that traditional GPSrs use).
The suggested format is 100x100 BMP--Sygic will happily accept this, but will scale it up to 100x100 and will make it look a bit pixelated in comparison. It works, though.
My preferred method of making POI icons for Sygic is as follows:
a) Find a pic larger than 100x100 pixels, preferably in PNG format.
b) Get a copy of an app called PixelFormer (it's free as in beer and available via Google search, or you can download it at http://www.qualibyte.com/pixelformer/) and save it first as a 32-bit PNG then as a 32-bit BMP file (this allows you to do BMPs with transparencies).
Alternatively:
a) Find an SVG vector file of the particular pic you want, grab a copy of GIMP (http://www.gimp.org), open the SVG as a file of over 100 pixels, resize the canvas to an exact square, scale down to 100x100 pixels, and save as a 32-byte BMP file.
That way you can have full definition for Sygic POI icons and it looks nice.
Also, once you've imported your new POIs, they live in Menu > Settings > Custom POI; you can turn them on and off from there, check the setting to have them show up in the main POI category files.
To enable POIs in Sygic: Menu > Settings > Notifications & Sounds > Points of interest; you can check 'Enable' and set radius and alert sounds..haven't yet played around to see if custom alert sounds can be set in Sygic Aura yet, but if so..this is a big bonus.
To enable POIs on the map in Sygic: Menu > Settings > Map view > Points of interest and you can turn on and off from there.
Having recently played with the 7-day trial version of Sygic (which is IMHO becoming mature and which I may end up switching to--not really fond of CoPilot 9 in comparison) this is definitely one of the easier POI softwares to deal with..the only one easier for Android is CoPilot Live, and this is probably THE easiest next to the actual Garmin software for iPhone and Symbian users.

A FEW NOTES AND CAVEATS:
a) Per Sygic, POIs do have to be separated by country--no mixing POIs in the US and Canada. Not a real problem here for most of the POI packages, though.
b) You MUST import these ONLY one at a time--otherwise Sygic kind of sicks up (then again, this is true of ALL Android POI programs, not just Sygic).
c) Sygic is supposedly working on a more mature POI management scheme for future versions of Sygic--no idea if this is a version of Sygic POI Editor on steroids or major changes in Sygic, so this may change. At least they do seem to be taking stuff into consideration, though--if they do put in advanced POI management, this will put them on the top of the pack, as iGO is (alas) OEM-only for Android.
d) To have all of the US, Canada, and Mexico maps, you'll want at least 4.5GB to spare on your SD card. Fortunately, 16GB cards are becoming affordable and even the 8GB cards will work if you don't store a ton of MP3s and such on it..
EDIT: Edited to add link to Sygic POI converter and the New Procedure..
EDIT AGAIN: Turns out you can do the basic conversion of CSV files right in Extra POI Editor, which makes life very simple
EDIT YET AGAIN: Played with the trial version now that Sygic Aura seems to be mature, and Sygic has published a procedure that makes life downright simple--now you just need EPE plus a text editor and you're golden
Import of external custom POIs to Sygic

As an important add-on feature our app allows users to import their own favorite POIs from free sources on the internet like [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and many other sites.
A POI (Point of Interest) is a dataset containing GPS coordinates that represents interesting and important locations in navigation applications. The most popular POI categories are, for example, speed cameras, radars, accommodation locations, restaurants, petrol stations, parking lots, WiFi hotspots, attractions, etc. This way you can plan routes to POIs, or be warned by the app when passing by a POI.
Custom Points of Interest for Sygic GPS Navigation
What types of files can be imported into the Sygic app:
- POI database from Mobile Maps app or Sygic Drive (files with .upi extension)
- POI database from Sygic (files with .rupi extension)
- You can also download files in the compatible .upi format directly from [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Convertor download link
Note: To display the POI on the map in the application you need to import a corresponding icon (a .bmp picture) along with the POI (.upi/.rupi file).
File requirements for import:
- Both .rupi and .upi must be separate for each country. You cannot use multiple country POIs in one .rupi or .upi file.
- Extensions .rupi, .upi and .bmp must be lowercase
- The name of the icon (.bmp file) and of the POI (.upi/.rupi files) must be the same e.g UK-Pharmacy.upi, UK-Pharmacy.bmp
- The name of the POI (.upi/.rupi) will be displayed as the name of the POI category in Sygic navigation. So UK-Pharmacy.upi will appear in Sygic navigation in category UK-Pharmacy
- The icon (.bmp file) should be in a square format e.g. 100x100 px. If the icon is too big or too small, it will be adjusted automatically by the app.
- The icon should be either 8 bit or 32 bit bmp format.
- If you import multiple POIs at the same time, they must have at least 7 different characters in their name, otherwise the application may not display them correctly.
Import POIs on iPhone / iPad (iOS)
- Launch iTunes on your Mac/PC. Connect your iPhone/iPad to your Mac/PC.
- Click on your iPhone/iPad and go to the Apps tab.
- Choose Sygic in 'File Sharing'.
- Drag and drop .upi/.rupi and .bmp files directly into Sygic.
Do not drag and drop folders. - Sync your iPhone / iPad with iTunes.
- If Sygic is running on your iPhone/iPad, close it.
- Launch Sygic on your iPhone/iPad.
- A dialog for import of custom POI will open and your are done.
Import POIs on Android smartphones
- Copy .upi/.rupi and .bmp files directly into Sygic/Maps/import. Do not copy folders. If you don't have an import folder then create it.
Please note that points of interest must be imported for each country separately. - Launch Sygic GPS navigation.
- A wizard for import of custom POI will open after launch.
POI Convertor
- The convertor supports ASCII, UTF8 and UNICODE format.
- For each POI the parameters must be arranged in the following order:
longitude latitude name address phone fax web email short description long description - First 3 parameters are required (longitude, latitude, name)
- It is not necessary to include all parameters
- You may drop out certain parameters (except for the mandatory parameters longitude, latitude and name)
but you need to include an empty space for each parameter that you drop out
To import text files (files with .txt extension)
-The delimiter specified in the first line of the TXT file should be ' '
Example:
delimiter=
-0.075771 51.332663 Esso petrol station Greater London
-0.075771 51.332663 Esso petrol station Greater London, Addington Rd, Bromley
-0.075771 51.332663 Esso petrol station Greater London, Addington Rd, Bromley esso.com
To import .csv files
Length Converter Download
-The delimiter specified in the first line of the TXT file should be ','
To specify the delimiter
- Open .csv in Excel
- Insert new row and write “delimiter=,”
- Save as “CSV (comma delimited)”
Example:
delimiter=,
-0.075771,51.332663,Esso petrol station,Greater London
The .txt and .csv files must have at least 2 entries in them, or the import into our application will result in an error.
The POI convertor also can't convert more than 40 000 entries (no matter if it's all in one file or spread through more files)
If your files have more than 40 000 lines then please, split them so every convert does less than so many lines.
How to convert files to RUPI format
- Download the convertor from
- Launch the convertor on your PC.
- Click Browse Files to browse the directiories. Convertor will automatically search the directory in which is placed.
- Select .txt files that you want to convert.
- Run the conversion to convert the files to RUPI format. Sygic GPS navigation is able to process .upi and .rupi format, so there is no need to convert .upi to .rupi format.
