TravelPilot DX compatible Maps

This thread is home to my attempt to create TravelPilot DX compatible navigation CD's.
For reference, these CD's will work on the later model of the COMAND 2.5 system (model D).
The maps will be based of OpenStreetMap.org.

What do I know at this point:
  • There is an executable on the navigation CD, pressumably for the TMC system.
    It contains alot of references to anything related to TMC.
    • NAVECE_M.EXE (Typ D CAN-Product Deutschland Version)
    • .DNL and NLT files; I think these contain the TMC data --> Road/City name tables
      • Confirmed by the following (CCTMCLUT.DAT): # 'Lookup Table' zur Referenzierung und Auswahl von TMC-Tabellen in der Zielhardware (= # 'Lookup Table' for referencing and selecting TMC tables in the target hardware)
  • One of the (I suspect many) processors inside the device is the Renesas V850E2M. It's the NEC V810B7B-25
    All the .EXE ELF files (either on the update disc or on the navigation disc) contain the V8xx header. This CPU is recognized by all the decompilation tools I tried.
  • The source geospatial data files are in the GDF 3.0 format. Pressumably the TeleAtlas variant.
  • I do have an contact at Bosch who knows more about the project, but hasn't been responding lately.

Hey Tim,

did you ever continue with this project or maybe finish it or come to the conclusion that it is not feasable?

I'd be interested in your findings.
