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.
