Default PCM 3 Nav Address Import via USB

On PCM3, there's an option to import addresses from the USB port. I can't for the life of me figure out what format the addresses need to be in. In an effort to troubleshoot, I exported an address to a flash drive in the USB port, then looked at it on my computer, but it's not something I understand. The PCM created a .navi file.

Also, if there's some magical way to get the Nav system to see the addresses stored in my iPhone's phonebook, that would be even better, but it doesn't seem to do that. Lame.

Hi,
I am curious about this too. Anyone find a solution?
You can open the ".navi" file in Notepad and see that it's a string of characters so it's encoded somehow.
There must be some tool/app/site in which you can enter an address and it will create such a file.
Thanks,
-John

Hi @ELMEL , @lucena

did you succeed to read the .Navi format or to generate it from a tool ?
