Intro:
This is a guide on how to export Waypoints from Navitel in order for you to contribute them to Roadguide.
This is known for All OS which Navitel works, except Java, Bada and iphone/ipad, just coz we haven't tried it yet, but probably same.

Software needed:
1. Navitel and RG Navitel Philippine map in your device.
2. Mapsource installed in your PC How to here: http://roadguide.ph/forums/showpost....88&postcount=1
3. Whatever software (if needed) to extract data from your device to PC.
4. Download also the latest Demo map here: http://roadguide.ph/forums/showthread.php?t=17
This is your reference to check if your contribution is already in the latest map or not.

1. Save waypoints while navigating using Navitel in our Smartphone/Device. Similar to how you would save waypoints on Garmin GPSrs. Visit the How to save Waypoints in Navitel here!

3. Tap on menu icon on lower right side


4. You will be in main menu, tap on Find

Folder: Waypoints

File type: *.gdb
You can change file type by clicking on the file type and choosing the right file extension


9. Choose gdb as it is compatible withe mapsource. Then click OK on lower right side.

10. All the saved waypoints in Navitel should have already been exported to a gdb file.


11. Then OK again to do the Export.

I just realized this How to was made when the Navitel map version and the RG Garmin compatible map version was still the same.

Now because the RG Garmin map is already slightly advanced, if you want to contribute, you will need to do the following:

1. After downloading and installing Mapsource properly, Download the latest Demo map from here: http://roadguide.ph/forums/showthread.php?t=17

2. Then install it, and check if it is properly installed already in Mapsource, if you can see the demo map in mapsource.

3. Then use Demo map as reference to check if what you plan to contribute is already in the latest map or not, if it is not, then please contribute, if it is there, double check accuracy, if you can make additions for accuracy, you can still submit.

My tip is that if you are interested to contribute, you should review the demo map a few times, specially check your regular routes, so that you can notice which are already in the map and which are not, so that you can contribute them.

Lastly, make use of your mobile phone built in camera. What I do is just put a code like WP1 N (for north, so N,S,E,W) of the road, then take a photo, so that I can drive away already with exact name of the WP in my camera. Then review at home and rename accordingly.
