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.

Hi,

I added a script to convert your Garmin CSV or Tomtom OV2 files to Mercedes Command GPX files:
http://www.gps-data-team.com/convert/poiedit.php

As a public-demand-driven site, I can add some format specific custom features if you find this script useful.

Please feel free to let me know what do you need.

Cheers

Mercedes Comand files ?

I am a registered user with no experience. Is there a way to download the properly formatted files for speed and red light cameras with no edition for a Mercedes Comand 2014 navigation system for different European countries ? I have downloaded files where you get properly formatted files to copy straight into your SD card. Rolling Eyes

Re: Mercedes Comand POI Editor

Andrew just added a new GPX format for 2013 and later MB GPS units (Mercedes GPX 2013)

You can download ready-to-use files and updates in our GPS POI Zone: http://www.gps-data-team.com/gps-poi.php
or
convert your old files to MB GPX format with our online Poi Edit: http://www.gps-data-team.com/convert/poiedit.php

how to merge the gpx files afterwards ?

Hi,
Andrew created a tool to merge gpx files almost 15 years ago. You can use it to merge 2 GPX files:
https://www.gps-data-team.com/convert/merge-gpx.php
I hope it still works. I can add it to our Online POI Tool Box if you find it useful. We can also add a tool to change POI icons if you describe what you need.
I hope it helps.

Re: Mercedes Comand GPX files

I had problems getting this to work on my 2016 W205 C-Class with NTG5 using a Mac.

I fixed this by using Text Editor to edit and change... line encoding="iso-8859-2" TO... encoding="UTF-8" and 'saving as' with the options Linebreaks set to 'Windows CRLF' and Encoding (UTF- Cool

Hope this saves someone some time !

Re: Mercedes Comand GPX files

Hi Matty, and thanks!

1. You can go to the Downloads Setup page (press the OPTIONS button) and choose the UTF-8 charset and keep/remove accents options. Please try it and let me know...
2. Andrew can fix the Windows CRLF if you have any problem with our current line breaks.
