My wife drives a 2008 Mercury Mariner with the Navteq FLM map DVD. I am curious about the file format for the DVD. Is there a way to make an OSM DVD to work on the Panasonic onboard Nav unit? |

I'd be surprised if there was an easy upgrade. Panasonic's the supplier of the hardware; Navteq of the data. As I understand it Panasonic's no longer in the business now. A web search turns up a bunch of old reviews, nothing on the data format. Of the car devices available now, I'm only aware of decent OSM support on Garmin units - it would almost certainly be quicker and cheaper (if you value your time at anything) to go with one of those than try and reverse-engineer a satnav format that no-one makes any more. |

I use OSM on a garmin, and a web search revealed this, If you try it and it works then please post as an answer to you own question,or a comment if not. good luck http://www.ehow.com/how_8001776_convert-garmin-maps-navteq.html (update: see comments below - only adverts there!) 1
That page seems remarkably free of any useful information - is there a link to the actual software anywhere (preferably with reviews etc.)?

I personally haven't used it, and the link description may not be very accurate. I'll leave that to gator2802

The link is a bad one. The Garmin to Navteq converter just brings up ad after ad.

@gator2802: That was the impression I had from the linked page. It may even be possible that someone tries to lure you into running malware. As always: Only run software from trusted sources! Thanks for noting - I have marked the link.
