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. ]

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.

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
-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.
