GPX poi format

poi format

Does someone have a poi GPX file that I can load in the editor to see what it looks like?

I would like to see a GPX file with the proximity alert and phone info so I can see how it is formatted in the poi editor.

Go to poi editor, create your own POI file with as many POI's that you want, save it as GPXx (GPX eXtended file format), open it in any text editor and you'll be able to see some XML like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" standalone="no" ?>
<gpx xmlns="
...
<wpt lat="" lon="">
<name></name>
<cmt></cmt>
<sym>Information</sym>
<extensions>
<gpxx:WaypointExtension>
<gpxx:Proximity></gpxx:Proximity>
<gpxx:DisplayMode></gpxx:DisplayMode>
<gpxx:Address>
<gpxx:StreetAddress></gpxx:StreetAddress>
</gpxx:Address>
</gpxx:WaypointExtension>
</extensions>
</wpt>
</gpx>

Have a look at the XSD files to find out what data you need to include, what data types they are, etc.
