Hi all, I've downloaded Italy Aura map with Nitdroid and that question came in my mind "Can we use Aura maps in Sygic Mobile Maps 10?"...

I've looked at the directory structure and the files that uses respectively Aura and Sygic 10...and I've found very very little differences...also by opening with an HEX viewer the files .nhs and .pak are very similar...
Here is what I've found:
Sygic Mobile Maps 10
ita\
ita.nhs
ita.pak
TeleAtlas2010.90.mlm
wcl\
wcl.pak

Sygic Aura
ita.ta.2013.01\
ita.2dc
ita.2dt
ita.cam
ita.db1
ita.dbp
ita.hmp
ita.lma
ita.neo
ita.ne1
ita.ne2
ita.ne3
ita.ne4
ita.nhs
ita.pak
wcl\
wcl.lma
wcl.pak
world2.wtn
world3.wtn

We can see a similar structure..but now comes the magic...

PAK file
By opening the two pak files (Mobile Maps 10 pak and Sygic Aura pak) I've noticed that they have the same Header "2KAP" and at the end the same strings </body> and </cgml> so I can suppose that apart from the 3D view of streets and buildings they didn't make any Big changes in file format..

NHS file
Here I've found only a difference, in Mobile Maps 10 Nhs file the header is 1PAM while in the Sygic Aura is 2PAM

WCL file inside wcl folder has the same header

And the magic continue..
By opening TeleAtlas2010.90.mlm file I've noticed that there is this text:

[PRODUCT:SMM10 Europe]

name=SMM10 Europe

tts=no

sdk=no

truckAttr=no

premiumPOI=no

exPostals=yes

speedcam=SCDB:WORLD:2012.03

maps=TA:WORLD:2012.03

That is similar to the format of the elements founded in the file "content.info" (in my example I've looked at Italy element):

[PRODUCT:Sygic Aura 2 Italy]
name=Sygic Aura 2 Italy
tts=yes
sdk=no
truckAttr=no
premiumPOI=yes
exPostals=no
3dContent=yes
cityguides=yes
naviType=pedestrian,car
speedcam=SCDB:ITALY:2020.01
maps=TA:ITALY:2013.01

I hope that this study can bring to maps updates also for us..my dream is to let Sygic Mobile Maps to "think" that is loading a native map, not an Aura map
