for the USA maps, there is a subfolder for each state in /maps/statexx/ while the poi's are USA-yyy. I understand your logic of putting the poi files in the country but there is no USA country folder as such ....

The best way to find the correct folder is to first create a new POI category from within the app and save it. You can call it whatever you want. After you save it you will find a *.upi file with that name in one of the map folders. The folder that you find it in is the folder you want to place your other POI files into as well.
The coresponding Icon files go in "res" under "icons"
EDIT: I have attached a zip file with a Red Light & Speed Cam POI that I produced so we can all play along at home.

Hi you seem to be the man wh knows about sygic software, i have a problem trying to load it on to the n900 (before you ask i have been on to sygic for help i ue the term help very losely just told to uninstall and try again).
My problem is when i open apps manager to install it i do not get the option to install just uninstall download and up date.
Any ideas please.
Thanks Simon.
After copying the files with the Sygic program to the internal memory of your N900, take the usb-cable off, open file manager and select the mobile-maps-setup.deb file, or whatever it is called...

I don't think i'm doing any thing wrong but something seems to be missing??

Cheers Simon.

My comment was regarding how we would show the same POI across several states.

... There are many map folders for the US, Sygic breaks the country down and ID's POI's by region apparently. The region I am in is the Philadelphia Metro Region. For faster searches it must load just the POI's for the region you are currently located. I have seen what you describe when I search for a POI outside my region. However, the POI's are still there.
When I go to "browse map", zoom out, and move the cursor to any part of the country: If I tap the menu button and select "Find nearby POI" It does return all nearby POI's. A search for "Borders" in Oklahoma City took about 15 seconds, but it gave me the Borders on the Northwest expressway there.
BTW the file I provided has 2455 locations included in it.

If you load it in your local directory when you go to "Browse Map" point to say LA, hit the menu button (between "Options" and "Done") then select "Find Nearby POI", then select "Cams", It will find cams in LA. If you find yourself on the road in LA I'm pretty sure the cams will show up. They have for me when I am outside my home area in DC or NYC.
Could you share the methods you used to convert a "file found on the net" to a useful Sygic POI? I have been working on and off for two weeks now trying to find all the idiosyncrasies of a Sygic POI file in order to post a "How to". Maybe you found an easier way.
