Polish Format Map (.mp)

For the first time that I heard "Polish Format", I was wondering that this format is related to Poland or it is related to simonize (polish) verb.

I am not sure, but according to cGPSmapper manual that call this format "Polski Format Mapy" that is Polish of "Polish Format Map" I think that for the first time this format of storing map has been created in Poland .

MP (PFM) is text based format to store vector maps. There are some software that let you create or edit maps in this version. The most famous one is GPS MAP EDIT, (I will write about this small, but powerful software in another log), and some customized version of GPS MAP EDIT like GME++ (Freeware). Even some under developing mapping software like "Micro GIS Editor" support .mp completly.

Most of big car producers on the world have added satellite navigation hardware and software to their new car models.

But it does not mean that you have map of all countries and regions. For example, a Lexus or Mercedes has no map for many Africans and Middle East countries.

What is the solution?

Iran Routable 2.9.0, is going to publish for MemNav.com and MemNav.asia customers.
