1.2.
Why this document
Since years, a lot of people wanted to add their own POI to those already included in the
navigation CD for RT3. Most of people wanted to add radar or velocity camera, but some
others wanted also to add various customized POI (friends, )
Starting with version 5.5/6.6, the RT3 software lets the user select radar as a kind of POI. But
it is a useless option because there is no radar in the cartography itself.
The main goal of this document is to describe the data structure of the cartography to be able
to write a software which can customize POI known by they latitude/longitude and generate a
new version of the cartography
Another goal (perhaps more complex) would be to merge two (or more) CD for people (like
me) living near a border. In a day to day usage, its a pity the Major Road of Europe
cartography is totally blank after I cross the German border using a brand new bridge
followed by a small road.
And a lot of other usage may be found in the future
1.3.
CD version(s) described
This document is based on a CD Navteq for RT3 France 2005/2006 2nde edition (TR3002900).
These information dont apply to old CD structure (2004 and before, 2005 for certain
countries) without compressed files (if there is a LABEL.TXT file in the root or directories
with name containing letters like C_00 or L_00, this is an old one).
Filenames used in CD for other countries may change (see 4.1 Files naming rules).
Structures should be the same for newer versions as well as for other countries version.
File size, number of record, exact content (see 4.4.1 File size (TD3002900)) depends of
course of the cartography version and country.
2. Main contributors
Phil95 : Many thanks to phil95 for all his work. complete description of localization by zones,
the way to deflate compressed files, graphical representation of POI and maps
Ive just renamed GC, MC, PC into LS, MS et SS to ease the english translation of this
document.
dkomputer : Thanks. Without you, I still find a regular pattern into FRANCXXX.DSC
instead dividing it by 17.
Janfi67 : Im trying to collect all the available information and to summarize it in this
document. Sorry for my poor English.
3. General information
3.1.
Localization by zones
Places, POIs, cartography elements are often localized in this way

The European map is divided in a first level of 12 (horizontally) by 18 (vertically) large
squares of 256Km by 256 Km called LS.
Then each LS is divided into 256 medium squares (16 horizontally by 16 vertically) of 16Km
by 16 Km called MS.
Finally, each MS is divided into 256 small squares (16 horizontally by 16 vertically) of 1Km
by 1Km called SS.
Zones are numbered from 0x00 to 0xFF from West to East, then from South to North.

South
Inside a Small Square, a POI is fully localized by two coordinates, X and Y between 0 and
999.
POI coordinates are LS, MS, SS, X and Y. Another way to express them using a common
geodesic language is :
Formulas to translate LS, MS, SS, X, Y into E, N:
E = 256000 * LS mod 12 + 16000 * MS mod 16 + 1000 * SS mod 16 + X
N = 256000 * LS div 12 + 16000 * MS div 16 + 1000 * SS div 16 + Y
Formulas to translate E, N into LS, MS, SS, X, Y:

LS
MS
SS
X
Y
=
=
=
=
=
(E div 256000) mod 12 + 12 * (N div 256000)

(E mod 256000) div 16000 + 16 * ((N mod 256000) div 16000)
(E mod 16000) div 1000 + 16 * ((N mod 16000) div 1000)
N mod 1000
E mod 1000
Formulas to translate LS, MS, into column and line:

column = 16 * (LS mod 16) + MS mod 16
line
= 16 * (LS div 16) + MS div 16
Where mod is modulo, div is the integer division.

Due to the projection used for creating the planed map MS are not north south oriented
Column 0-120
Column 121 (102)
Column 122 191
: decreasing positive rotation

: minimum rotation (origin in this column)
: increasing negative rotation
This seems to indicate a kind of cylindrical projection with a center longitude of 102
E (false East) and N (false North) should be in meters with the given definition.
Sometimes coordinates are LS, MS, X, Y with X and Y from 0 to 15999
Metropolitan France plus Corse is divided in 18 zones from west to east then south to north:
0x2b : Corse sud
0x33 : Hendaye Cambo les bains
0x34 : BAGNRES-DE-LUCHON LAVAUR
0x35 : Cerberes Lisle sur la sorgues

0x36 : SIX FOURS LES PLAGES - CASTELLANE
0x37 : Corse nord
0x3f : Bidard MESSANGES
0x40 : AUCH - BEAUNE-LES-MINES
0x41 : GRAULHET CHNAS
0x42 : PERNES-LES-FONTAINES - VILLE LA GRAND
0x4b
0x4c
0x4e
0x57
0x58
0x59
0x5a
0x65 : QUIHEN-PLAGE LEFFRINCKOUCKE
3.2.
POI localization by country, region, department city and district.
This is another way to localize POI and places : It is used on some of the files and directories
of the navigation.
<root>\P_RR\CAT\
P : country
1 : Italie
2 : France
3 : Allemagne
4 : Belgique
RR : Rgion (area? Something else?) in the country
10 : Alsace
DEP : Dpartment in the area

001 : Bas-Rhin
002 : Haut-Rhin
For example, the \P_RR\CAT\DEPDCP.CAT file describes cities of the department,
identifying them by a number (after the name) and sometimes with one or more district
number (after the city number, 0xFFFF if there is no district)
4. File structure
The structure should be relevant for all versions with compression (to be verified)
4.1.
Files naming rules
The tree structure and the file names under the root dont depend on the country.
Of course, directory names depend on the country (see 3.2 POI localization by country,
region, department city and district.) but because of the presence of Major Roads of Europe
on all CD, the structure is still present on all CD. The only difference between CD is the
content of the files (more details for the CD country)
Some file names at the root level are always the same (they dont depend on country):
CONFIG.LOG
DB_DWNL.OUT
DCN.DAT
GRUPPO2.DAT
GUIDA_CHAMPERARD.POI (not present on all CD)
SCITTANAME.DAT
SIF.VER
SW_VER.DAT
Of course, the content is not the same.

All the other file names start by the country name encoded in 5 characters:
BENEL for Benelux (to be confirmed)

CEUR1 for MittelEuropa Sd (Switzerland, north of Italy)
CEUR2 for MittelEuropa nord (Austria, south Germany
EST_E for East Europe
FRANC for France
GERM for Germany
ITALY for Italy
SPAGN for Spain/Portugal
In the document, all file names are related to France but you can easily translate them for your
own CD.
4.2.
Files in the tree structure under the root

4.2.1. P_RR\CAT\ZZZDCP.CAT

Index (from 1) of the first record in FRANCMIC.DSC related to the
city/district. 0xFFFF if there is no POI of the type in the city/district. (to be
verified)
Open Point : Ceci est valide en France; il semble que pour certaines
catgories (SEM par exemple), il y ait des POIs en Italie (Pays 1) et que
la numrotation recommence a 0 pou la France (point a vrifier). Pour
d'autres catgories (SHR) la numrotation ne recommence pas a 0 pour la
France. Ceci a pour consquence que deux fichiers IND peuvent pointer a
tort sur les mmes POIs (a vrifier)

12 bytes records sorted by increasing LS, MS ands SS.
FRANCDSP.POI contains:
All records of FRANCPOI.DAT
Records with type 0x115C (NAMED PLACE / CENTRE VILLE) contrary to
FRANCPOI.DAT which doesnt contain such record. Records of this type point to
random records of FRANCPOI.DAT
Remark :
This file is used for display but doesnt contain full coordinates of POI. Pointers to this file
exist in FRANCDPA.LZW (thanks again phil95).
Data pointed in FRANCPOI.DAT are not all used during display. For example, the city name
is not used even if you are looking for information for this place.

Index (starting from 1) of the POI name in FRANC_NOMSERV.DAT. There
is one record for each name, not only for the canonical name.
For each synonym, the other fields of the record are the same. Sometimes, 2
canonical names have identical records (except this field). It can be :
The same POI with 2 canonical names (ex : complexe sportif de lill,
centre sportif dill)
Different POI with the same genericname (ex 13846 CLUB
MUNICIPAL DE TENNIS).
There are some exceptions :
In FRANCSSP.DSC, there is one record with this field set to 0 (index
start at 1). Does it mean no name?

5. Comment ajouter un POI

Si vous avez bien tout lu et tout compris, ce paragraphe est inutile Mais a fait toujours du
bien de rcapituler.
1. Calculate POI coordinates: LS, SS, MS, X et Y (both versions, with short and long X,
). How to do that? I dont know yet
2. I suppose the POI is already in a SS which has an entry in FRANCDPA.LZW.
Otherwise its more complex.
3. Create a new entry in FRANCDSP.POI with the type, long X and Y, a pointer (already
existing if you dont need to shearch for this POI) to FRANCPOI.DAT, a scale and
associated flags. Where to create this entry? I dont know
4. in FRANCDPA.LZW
a. increase by 1 the POI number located in LS, MS, SS.
b. increase by 1 all the index to FRANCDSP.POI following the modified entry.
5. Pour permettre la recherche, il y a des tapes supplmentaires, insertion dune entre

dans FRANCPOI.DAT, FRANCXXX.DST, FRANCXXX.DSC,
FRANC_NOMSERV.DAT, SCITTANAME.DAT, ZZZCOM.IND mais cest une
autre histoire. Et puis, si vous ajoutez les radars, je doute que vous soyez saisis du
besoin irrpressible de vous diriger vers le plus proche ;-)

Why this document

Places, POIs, cartography elements are often localized in this way

Formulas to translate E, N into LS, MS, SS, X, Y:

(E div 256000) mod 12 + 12 * (N div 256000)

Formulas to translate LS, MS, into column and line:

Where mod is modulo, div is the integer division.

: decreasing positive rotation

0x35 : Cerberes Lisle sur la sorgues

POI localization by country, region, department city and district.

RR : Rgion (area? Something else?) in the country

DEP : Dpartment in the area
