This is where purchasers of Garmin sat navs are laughing because their map format was reverse-engineered years ago and OpenStreetMap on garmin satnavs is quite a well trodden path: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin
- netsharc 9y agoIt makes me wish I had more time, to start a project to reverse engineer the TomTom format. And maybe even generalize it for all sorts of devices, for example car makers also have their proprietary formats (probably they just use their supplier's format, whichever 3rd party that is).
- ars 9y agoThe best part of the TomTom map is what they call "IQ Routes" where they have timing info for each road, for each 15 minutes of the day. Without that there's little point in using it.
- photojosh 9y agoYep, I even have routable maps on my wrist! (Epix) The UI is super clunky, but it's a great backup for a phone, and the routing is way faster than anything going online.
