# igpsport-binavi-poi: reconstructing BiNavi route points

> igpsport-binavi-poi reconstructs the iGPSPORT BiNavi's .cnx route track codec and POI type values. Its Python generator combines a GPX track with distance-indexed roadbook points into a device route that shows proximity reminders during navigation; technical notes document the XML layout and observed FIT behavior.
