Mercedes Comand GPX files

I have inbuilt Mercedes COMMAND GPS system. I am a member of GPS DATA TEAM website and have managed to download a .gpx file and placed it on an SD card in the folder named "PersonalPOI". COMMAND recognises it and I can get visual and audible alerts. Excellent.

Mercedes COMAND GPX has categories and icons.

Does anyone know how to quickly add this line to every POI? Or GPS-Data-Team can you create a gpx file for Mercedes COMAND?

Each POI in the School Zones file needs these lines added.
<gpxd:WptIconId IconId="8"></gpxd:WptIconId>
<gpxd:POICategory Cat="Schools"></gpxd:POICategory>

End result is this:
<gpxd:WptExtension>
<gpxd:WptIconId IconId="8"></gpxd:WptIconId>
<gpxd:POICategory Cat="Schools"></gpxd:POICategory>
<gpxd:Activity Active="true" Level="warning"></gpxd:Activity>
<gpxd:Presentation ShowOnMap="true"></gpxd:Presentation>
</gpxd:WptExtension>

For speed/red light cameras I am have used this line:
<gpxd:WptIconId IconId="16"></gpxd:WptIconId>
<gpxd:POICategory Cat="Cameras"></gpxd:POICategory>

and Fast Food!:
<gpxd:WptIconId IconId="11"></gpxd:WptIconId>
<gpxd:POICategory Cat="Fast Food"></gpxd:POICategory>

Any help would be great appreciated!!!

Thanks

Code floating around

It basically worked for me, I had to use a script to stop getting <name> in front of the names. It is a bit tricky to download and install, but possible.

The easiest solution would be a sed script, you just need a nerd to write it.

Mercedes Comand POI

Easy.
Andrew just added a Mercedes Comand GPX POI format to our 'Members Only' POI Zone ( https://www.gps-data-team.com/gps-poi.php ). Please feel free to test and improve.

Personal POI

Myself experience for the new Comand Navi users.
If I want to keep personal POI (include cameras warning) works, I have to leave SD card inside Comand system. Otherwise, the Comand Navigation will not show the Personal POI data.

Hi,

You can give a try the following way:
1) You can change default POI Icon, Category Name or POI Time in 'Settings' if desired.
2) Perform conversion and a 'PersonalPOIs.gpx' file will be generated.
3) Save this GPX file into a new folder named 'PersonalPOI' on an SD Card, and you're read to go.
