+dcj99b Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hi Does anyone know how to get wayoints into a VW RNS 510 Sat Nav? It appears to need the files to be in .bd3 format. Anyone know how to change export format to suit? Regards Derek Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I think you mean db3. That is the format GSAK uses for its files so I am guessing if you imported the PQ into GSAK then looked in the folder you could copy it over. Might want to drift over to the GSAK forum to ask.

palacios2 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Actually the format is called vCard (.vcf). You can create a file for each of your destinations using the free web page http://www.iit.upcomillas.es/palacios/rns510.html Then you only need to copy those files into the folder "destinations" of an SD card and bring it to your car. RNS 510 will offer the option in import those destinations into the memory. You can also say New Destination --> From SD card --> select your destination directly from the card without importing.

robertlipe Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 If it's db3 it's probably sqlite3. If it's VCF, GPSBabel can read a pocket query and write vcard. Honestly, I haven't heard anyone using vcard in years. http://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-development/fmt_vcard.html It looks like our vcard writer knows about geocaches. gpsbabel -i gpx -f reference/gc/GCGCA8.gpx -o vcard -F - BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo;GCGCA8;;; ADR:N35 55.300 W86 51.700 URL:http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=cda94cd6-d657-49bd-8e7e-0031ef1b2613 NOTE:The cache is not at the coordinates above.
