Here's 3dl files for Serbia are ridiculous. They contain a minor number of objects.
Also, there is no exists their 3dc file.

N 44.8105469 - E 20.4609375
N 44.8105469 - E 20.4648438
Could they be for "Dom Narodne skupstine" and "Hram Svetog Marka"? Could you check lat/lon for those two landmarks?

I believe they are not. First one is way off this location and has no POI nor building.
As for ''my hack', it could be reason but I can't remember doing it (nor I can recall how to do it right now

Also could you post screenshot of using ONLY Serbia.3dl at that similar lat/lon?

The first image I've posted was from taken with 'Serbia.3dl' only. Your screenshot is with 'Here Serbia', check the differences in colors and minor on forms, this is not due to screen/primo/gift or something. Same shades (see church roof) are on my phone.

Boki, this is not an issue if Here 3dl are good (I'm aware they are limited) and I know there is no 'Here 3dc', please check my 1st post. I found 'Serbia.3dc @NNG 2009 on the net and it was working as it is, until it stopped at some time and I had to rename it to '3dl', but I believe some of the information from that file is simply not showing. I think that 2009 file had more buildings (including 'Glavna posta').

If I put both files they are working in merged mode, showing some buildings one map alone doesn't contain by itself. Example ('Beogradjanka', 'PC Usce', etc). Is there a chance to make 'Serbia 2009' to work in 3dc mode, as before? Licence or something?

That file is almost 10 years old.
There are also several files for Serbia from NNG, and all now old at least 5 years. I can give you all that exists, but ...
Changing extension can not change the record in file, either provide you more information.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] for NNG content appeared couple of days before.

Yes, you can put several 3dc/3dl files from different provider, merging is usually OK, only sometimes you may see overlap.

Hi guys, once again thank you all for your input. I've been rather busy past week, haven't got proper chance to reply.

@Osiris > primo version v9.6.29.636868. As for renaming, I'll repeat once again - initial file was 3dc and was working well for quite a long time. Suddenly (with one of the primo upgrades) it stopped. Renaming 3dc>3dl was merely my desperate act to find what's causing the problem, and it worked for some reason. As I explained before, looking at header of the file by iGO View it came to me idea to rename it.

Can you help we understand what is the core difference between those two extension? My logic was that some of the buildings was simply declared 'landmarks' by map provider and 3dl shows only them, while other buildings may or may not be landmarks and map provider puts them into 3dc. If not with licensing issue, why do we need to have both types and why did it stopped working?

What happen if you only use one .3dl at a time? You should not see the "footprint" problem.

Nope, it still exits.

To put more oil to the fire if you read OP, I also tried renaming Serbia_petrol.3dc > 3dl - and it also worked! So, I'm just trying to find some logic behind this.
What method/software did you use to read-out information within 3dc|3dl files? Like you said in one of previous posts, on coordinate xxx.xxx you have something?

@boki

and all now old at least 5 years. I can give you all that exists

Can you share with me what you got from TopMap, please?
