Hi,
I try to build a gpx-file with POIs, which I want to import in Locus (see TaraPOIxForImportIntoLocus.gpx (http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=3777.0;attach=2173) here).
These POIs are shown with a simple standard-symbol (a dot or circle). How to modify the gpx-file, so it contains the information to use other symbols (individual for each POI, perhaps for Spring, river rapid, bridge etc.) ?
The symbols for such diferent items I have already on the SDcardm(as png- or gif-files).
May be a modification of that line: <sym>Information</sym> ? (if sym means symbol?)
In the _themes for vectormaps I find lines like this <symbol src="file:../ele_res/s_power_water.png" />
which refer to PNGs with the symbols. But how to get a similar effect in gpx-files?
regards, Michael
You can find an example in this german thread with a .kmz file, i think it is not possible with a .gpx file

download this attachement, there are 3 different icons

unzip this file, and open the .kml with e.g. notepad and you will see how it works ;)
The 3 icons are stored in the file folder
Interesting, I should be able to imitate this example.
Thanks, Michael
Ok, I have done it. The KML-Version of my TaraPOIs works!!
The only strange thing ist the size of the symbols, which seems to depend only on the width of the png, not on the height.
