Thanks Corona.

Since the file "reading/deciphering" avenue doesn't look promising I will try to tackle this from the device end.

Looks like at initial startup the device pulls the system info from somewhere on the device (I see a Java jss file in there). I think that if I could "push" my info onto the device, then all my files would work. Since they probably had a tool/program, I will have to find some other way to do this.

Thanks so much everyone, my quest continues...

VIKING(1)							  [FIXME: manual]							 VIKING(1)

NAME

       viking - program to manage GPS data

SYNOPSIS

       viking [-d | --debug] [-V | --verbose] [file...]

       viking [-h | --help]

       viking [-v | --version]

DESCRIPTION

       Viking is a free/open source program to manage GPS data. You can import and plot tracks and waypoints, show OpenStreetMap (OSM) maps and/or
       Terraserver maps under it, add coordinate lines, make new tracks and waypoints, hide different things, etc. It is written in C with the
       GTK+ 2 toolkit, available for Linux, other POSIX operating systems, and Windows, and is licensed under the GNU GPL.

       Homepage: http://viking.sf.net

       This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       viking is a program to manage GPS data

OPTIONS

       file
	   Specify file to load at start.

       -d, --debug
	   Enable debug output.

       -V, --verbose
	   Enable verbose output.

       -?, --help
	   Show help options.

       -v, --version
	   Show version.

EXTENDING VIKING

       Currently, viking has some extention points based on configuration files. The file format is heavily inspired by the GtkBuilder file
       format: you specify the class of the GObject to build and set its properties. Technically, it is a XML file containing a "objects" root
       element. Inside this element, you set a collection of "object".

       Here is an example:

	   <objects>
	     <object class="ClassName">
	       <property name="property_name1">Property value</property>
	       <property name="property_name2">Property value</property>
	     </object>
	     ...
	   <objects>

       You can find more examples in the documentation part of the distribution.

       Map Source. It is possible to add new map's sources. The file is ~/.viking/maps.xml.  An example of the file in the distribution
       doc/examples/maps.xml.  The VikSlippyMapSource allows to declare any map's source working like OpenStreetMap. It supports the following
       properties:

       id
	   this is an integer and should be unique as it used to identify the map source

       label
	   the text displayed in the map's source selection dialog

       hostname
	   the server's hostname (eg. "tile.openstreetmap.org")

       url
	   the parametrized address of the tile, in the spirit of C printf format, with 3 "%d" fields for X, Y and Z (zoom level) (eg.
	   "/%d/%d/%d.png")
       The VikTmsMapSource allows to declare any TMS service. It supports the following properties:

       id
	   this is an integer and should be unique as it used to identify the map source

       label
	   the text displayed in the map's source selection dialog

       hostname
	   the server's hostname (eg. "tile.openstreetmap.org")

       url
	   the parametrized address of the tile, in the spirit of C printf format, with 3 "%d" fields for X, Y and Z (zoom level) (eg.
	   "/%d/%d/%d.png")
       The VikWmscMapSource allows to declare any WMS or WMS-C service. It supports the following properties:

       id
	   this is an integer and should be unique as it used to identify the map source

       label
	   the text displayed in the map's source selection dialog

       hostname
	   the server's hostname (eg. "tile.openstreetmap.org")

       url
	   the parametrized address of the tile, in the spirit of C printf format, with 4 "%s" fields for bounding box coordinates (eg.
	   "/coord=%s,%s,%s,%s")

       Go-to search engines. It is possible to add new new search engines for the "Go-To" feature. The file is ~/.viking/goto_tools.xml.  An
       example of the file in the distribution doc/examples/goto_tools.xml.  Currently, there is a single object class available: VikGotoXmlTool.
       Such feature allows to declare any search engine using a XML format as result.  The related properties are:

       label
	   the text displayed in the Go-To dialog

       url-format
	   the parametrized address of the query, in the spirit of C printf format, with a single "%s" field (replaced by the query string)

       lat-path
	   XML path of the latitude (eg.  /root/parent/elem)

       lat-attr (optional)
	   name of the attribute (of previous element) containing the latitude

       lon-path
	   XML path of the longitude (eg.  /root/parent/elem)

       lon-attr (optional)
	   name of the attribute (of previous element) containing the longiude
       As a facility (or readability) it is possible to set both path and attribute name in a single property, like an XPath expression. To do so,
       simply set both info in lat-path (or lon-path) in the following format: /root/parent/elem@attribute.

       External tools. It is possible to add new external tools. The file is ~/.viking/external_tools.xml.  An example of the file in the
       distribution doc/examples/external_tools.xml.  Currently, there is a single object class available: VikWebtoolCenter. Such feature allows
       to declare any Webtool using a logic based on center coordinates and zoom level value.  The related properties are:

       id
	   this is an integer and should be unique as it used to identify the tool

       label
	   the text displayed in the menu entry

       url
	   the parametrized address of the tile, in the spirit of C printf format, with 3 "%d" fields for X, Y and Z (zoom level) (eg.
	   "http://hostname/%d/%d/%d.png")
