Blaupunkt TravelPilot DX CD structure

Hi,

In my quest to reverse engineer the TravelPilot DX navigation system, I was wondering if somebody came across a standard that might be used on the disc. (filesystem listed below)

So far I’ve extracted that:

The discs are generated based on a dataset available in the GDF 3.0 specification
- I’m working on an OSM to GDF converter.
The disc itself is generated by Bosch GmbH Hildesheim, so not by TomTom, TeleAtlas or anybody else
The hardware systems contain a V810 based chip, in which the various .exe (ELF-files) are loaded and executed. I’m in the process of dumping the contents of the flash chip that is present on my unit.
The maps are being generated on a Linux system, with the following arguments (source MAP00001.map, which lists TPMAP2 at the bottom of the header, could this be the structure standard’s name?)

MILL_RELEASE : /home/cdbuild/CNV_LINUX/MG3_2013.1/1.1_LINUX 
CONVEX_DECOMPOSITION : FALSE 
non-public Default-Files : 
att_file.GENERIC.2.1 
gdf_interpretation.GENERIC.3.4 
gdf_syntax.GDF_3_0.1.1 
modify_road.GENERIC.1.5 
public Default-Files : 
No_CREATE_ATT_SIT_CFG 
filters_map.D.TA.3.3 
No_FILTERS_ROAD_CFG 
gdf_trans_dict_map.TA_GIS.EUR.CD.2.14 
No_META_DATA_FILE 
modify_map.TA.D.2.5 
name_parser_product.DX_MAP.1.1 
online_map.D.COARSE.1.1 
tpmap_transdict_map.D.1.2
Config-Files :
GDF-Input : /home/cdbuild/CFG/map2-DX_TA_BNL_2012.9_p32_exp01_MG3/run/ScanGDF.input

I think that the QUADIDX.DAT file contains all the names for all the objects inside the navigation data,
that the RF files contain all the POI data and that the V01 files contain speech synthesis data.

What remains is the massive amount of NAVxxxxx.DAT files (not incrementally numbered), which contain a TPNAV2_COMPRESSED header and the DNL and NTL files, of which I think they contain TMC info, as their header contains TPNAV2��collect_tmc++ 6.8write_tmc++

I’m hoping that anyone might have scrolled through standard that is familiair with this one, or that somebody has the actual TravelPilot standard available. Any information is welcome!

If so, please do let me know and I’ll attempt to recreate the original discs.

If there is no standard available, my plan is to recreate the GDF files and to convince Bosch to run their tool (or to send the whole toolkit to me) over the generated GDF files.

Bumping this a little

Alas, I think you’re on your own here…

tim687 · 2022-06-07T09:36:37.381Z

Hmm, are the people who reverse engineered any navigation format willing to share their plan of attack and knowledge?
