| Subject: | Uploading waypoints file to the web site | |
wojsyl 16:43 | Is it possible to upload a waypoints file to the TMJ web side from my PC instead of from the mobile ? Then I could get them to my mobile as needed by synchronising in the field. | |
Stephen 11:42 Location: Phone Model: | I should be able to add a basic Waypoint import function. What file format do you currently have the Waypoints stored in? | |
wojsyl 13:31 | Ideally it would be the .loc file, then I would not have to convert each time :-) This is an xml format but I was not able to find a formal dtd. However it's very simple, self-explanatory, and described e.g. here: http://www.cachemaps.com/Loc-syntax.htm Do you think you'd do it ? | |
wojsyl 15:24 | P.S. I don't know if you have gpsbabel installed on your server but if you do, it recognizes the loc files as "geo". Cheers. | |
Stephen 16:29 Location: Phone Model: | I don't use GPSbabel but it should be fairly simple to add support for the LOC format. I'll try and do something in the next day or two... | |
Stephen 12:04 Location: Phone Model: | Hi wojsyl, Okay, I've added a basic LOC file import function, its in the UPLOAD section on the left. It seems to work fine with the two example files you sent me. Let me know if it does anything weird with other files... Hope it helps! Cheers, Stephen | |
wojsyl 13:25 | Hi Stephen, This is really so cool. How do I ever pay you back ? I particularly like the option to select the field to take the wpt name from. I'm still testing and messing around a bit. It seems some massive waypoints delete option would be needed now. Like "Delete all waypoints in group N". Cheers, --w | |
wojsyl 13:45 | P.S. And how about a "remove duplicate waypoints" option ? | |
Stephen 21:26 Location: Phone Model: | Good idea, I'll look into this... | |
wojsyl 8:14 | Mass deletion would really be needed now. I thought I would be able to do this at the mobile end and then synchronize, but this does not work. Cheers. | |
Stephen 15:59 Location: Phone Model: | Ok, I've made a few improvements to the Waypoints page - fixed a couple of bugs and added the Delete Group/Delete All functionality. Hope it helps! Regards, Stephen | |
wojsyl 21:21 | Class !!! Thanks as always. | |
