Yes, but Purpose of these files ? I know that hnr files shorten time for softtware to calculate a route ! What about the other files ?

Thx

FDA= used in conjunction with Navteq maps (must be of the same release date) gives warnings like Railroad Crossing, Pedestrian Crossing, Slippery Road, etc--flashing the corresponding icon on the map screen--assuming such warnings are enabled.
FTR = Bridge Heights and other information that is useful to a trucker.
All such files go into the same folder(s) as the maps they are intended to be used with.

Thanks

somebody forgot to explain the folder placement
Which folder?

[CosmicArkie]

Like Yurbuh Tuggly said a couple posts above, all such files go in the contents/map folder which matches the NavTeq maps. Which might be /map or /map_nt, whatever you are using.
