I do not know if any other built in GPS's use DB3 files, but here is a VW website in German where you can convert any GPX, CSV, ASC, KMZ or KML files into a DB3 file. In other words it lets you convert your own files into the DB3 format.
This German VW site has ceased to function !!!!!!! Oct.7th-2017
And of course since this is a language not everyone speaks, here is a website "BRISKODA.NET" with translations and instructions into English. IGNORE any LINKS in his website to the VW site, they DO NOT work anymore. It took me a bit of searching to find the correct VW site posted above.

I should also add that my built-in GPS can use CD,DVD and SD cards for installing.
You can install RLC's and Speed cams into the RNS-510, but it will NOT show them on the map!
