• A secondary question is to mix Map from TT with HERE POIs, does it work? Sometimes?

Answer

Spoiler: .

Yes you can use POI from different providers than the map being used. You can even use POIs from many different providers. For example, if you put both HERE and TomTom POIs of a region under the .../content/poi directory, both will be used. And when you search, proggy will give options to use them.

You can put/mix .fbl from any vendor under the .../content/map directory. You can put any version of .fbl under .../content/map directory. Proggy will select the latest one for a region/county based on a criteria* and then find a match for other files such as .fsp, .fda, .ftr, .fpa, .fjv, .fjw, etc... to use with it. You can check it under About->Content->Maps. So you can be using HERE for France and TomTom for Spain. When you are driving in France, it will use HERE content of France; when you are driving in Spain, it will use TomTom content of Spain.

Files in other directories such as .../content/dem, .../content/building, .../content/poi, .../content/speedcam, etc... can be from different provider or version of the selected .fbl

* Proggy can select which vendor to used based on size; for example, you can specify to use a vendor with the largest size. This is when "map changer" can cause unexpected problem.
