thanks

QSI, as mentioned in post #5, stands for "Quick Spelling Input". It let you search a Chinese name by entering only the first letter of each Chinese character in PinYin, instead of entering the full PinYin. For example, to search TianAnMen (天安门), you need to enter "tam" only instead of "TianAnMen". This is very useful for long names especially.

To use QSI, you may need Chinese version of StreetPilot or even Chinese version of iOS and firmware. I don't have a iPhone so cannot give you the right answer.

You are welcome to try other Type* of zip files and see if their JCV, SID, 3D, etc. features work on your iPhone. Please share your experience and results with the forum members.
