![]() Even so, I find myself yelling at my computer when software does not respond as I think it should. I spent many years in systems, managing teams of application programmers. Like KenSny, I think know a little about design and programming. Like I said bad programming.Īnd the thing with the Waypoint symbols is it not only bad programming it is short-sighted on how users would interface the GPS unit with Basecamp. But even in simulation mode it still does it. Making tracks with VIKING is fun, no software does it better. So we would be very pleased if VIKING will support the whole GPX-specs V 1.1 some day. Some software uses the -tag only for waypoint-images, our software (for our needs only) can use it for symbols.Ĭurrently we must edit every GPX written by VIKING. So we use the -tag of the GPX-specs for the waypoint-symbols (NOT the waypoint-images, which is a different subject). We make complex custom GPX-files and store them on our server. My second intention for this thread was to optimize the workflow for GPX-files. ![]() Currently we make the screenshots without displaying the waypoints and add the symbols in a second step manually to the images. We use also VIKING to make screenshots of the tracks with the waypoint-symbols. As long as the (custom) waypoint-graphics are stored in the same directory as the GPX-file, they can be distributed and should be displayed in a user's software respecting the GPX-specs. The names of the symbols may be stored in the -Tag (GARMIN compatible) when exporting a track to a GPX-file. ![]() Maybe a configuration file helps to organize, which folder VIKING should use for the waypoint icons. Maybe the supported icon names (for the sym-tag) should match the Garmin MapSource icons (for compatibility)īut it is a good idea to store the icons in a folder of VIKING and not in the source code. It's right, the GPX-specs only allow plain text in the -tag. I would like a custom icon set to work with in VIKING. ![]() My main intention was to customize VIKING. ![]()
