POI Phone Numbers and Bluetooth Integration on the Nuvi

[PaulJSmith]

Hi,

I recently started using the POI's. Superb by the way - thansk to everyone who implemented this!!!

I have a small improvement for all us Garmin users who use the bluetooth feature on the satnav.

If U save a favorite, or view one of the built-in POI's on the 610T you can press a red phone icon next to the number to call that number. The current.gpx file shows the entry as:

{name}HOME</name}
{sym}Residence</sym}
{extensions}
{gpxx:WaypointExtension}
{gpxx:Address}
{gpxx:StreetAddress}99 Anystreet</gpxx:StreetAddress}
{gpxx:City}London</gpxx:City}
{gpxx:State}County</gpxx:State}
{gpxx:PostalCode}AB1 1A</gpxx:PostalCode}
{/gpxx:Address}
{gpxx:PhoneNumber}02081111111</gpxx:PhoneNumber}
{/gpxx:WaypointExtension}
{/extensions}
{/wpt}
{wpt lat ="51.413898" lon ="-0.765156"}
{ele}72.945190</ele}
{/wpt}
{wpt}

On the POI Database a number is (sometimes) displayed but it will not integrate into the phone. The format seems to be:


. EN* Youth Hostel Association, Achmelvich Beach 
  EN
+448700041102  ? 5 s-)

Is there any way to format the record so the number works in bluetooth. It would be really useful.


thanks.
Paul
