How to Save Waypoints in Navitel

How to Save Waypoint in Navitel:

While navigating using Navitel and while in map view:


1. First make sure your zoom level is at 20m or nearer (8m) lower zoom levels makes for more accurate placement of the Waypoint. Tap on the map where you want to put the waypoint.


2. You will then see a dot/cursor where you tapped, makes sure it is the correct side of the street, if this is the correct position, then tap on Save Wp on lower part of your screen.


3. You will see the Waypoint screen you then rename the waypoint, to for example Jollibee.

Then Tap on the type: Icon, to change the icon to correct category, the choices are:
Outdoors
Business
Civil
Transportation
Marine
Aviation
Navigation Aid
Contacts
Markers
Letter
Number

In this example, because Jollibee is a business, tap on Business, then Fast Food. Tap on OK in waypoints screen. You have saved your Waypoint.




4. In this example, the Waypoint is "Pizza hut" with Business/Pizza as type.


5. You may view all your saved waypoints by tapping on Main menu and then Find then Waypoints.

These waypoints can then be submitted as contribution by exporting it and then editing using mapsource before uploading to RG. Please visit How to Contribute waypoints using Navitel

nice kuya.
if i may request you add also zoom level in marking waypoints. preferrably 20m or below. recording it on higher levels will have lesser accuracy.

This was very helpful. I'll be uploading my waypoints soon. I just need to read and learn the rules first.

When we save waypoints in Navitel, i assume that the file format is not .qdb but another format. Can we import the same, using another fle format in Mapsource, for editing and then uploading?


Kindly enlighted me. thank you

PS I was only thinking how can I contribute better to the community. thanks

Thanks for your initiative to contribute bench.

As Kuya Doki mentioned please visit the link on how to contribute WP using Navitel. Most important thing to remember is that once you extract the waypoints from Navitel, you will be using the garmin standards for waypoints already, so you should also read up on how to contribute Waypoints in the FAQ in Garmin area, our RG Navitel map is now slightly behind the Garmin Map so please use the Garmin Demo map as reference to check if the Waypoint you want to contribute is already there or not, and also to edit or reposition the Waypoints accordingly.

If more purely navitel users contribute to RG, the Navitel map will get updated eventually for everyone's benefit.

Hi arvin and doki,

Thanks for the information.

I was supposed to withdraw my post as I saw the .qdb file. anyhow, it is indeed true that the RG Navitel Map is behind the Garmin map.

I hope Navitel users frequently contribute so that we can update the existing maps. thanks
