.ozi link off cache page [closed]
gc.com have, for premium members, a link to a gpx file on each cache page. This is really handy for updating GSAK etc when new caches come out. Could this be included in GCA pages?
Another handy link would be to an ozi .wpt link for individual caches. I could then preview straight in ozi. I'm sure anyone worth their SLT could do that with the GPX file, but that doesn't include me.

I create waypoint files from GSAK, generally with many points so they can be viewed on Mapsource or OZICE on the PPC.
So a single .wpt file for each cache might have less use............ ?
Just in case you do a lot of work to get it going and it is not used much by everyone after all.... just in case?
Any other comments?

i know not many people here use the software "Discover Aus" but out of all the mapping programs i've used i think its one of the best, with the detail of the maps.
one thing i have noticed is the waypoint files don't work correctly between ozi and discover aus,
also when i convert a GPX file to a wpt file using GPSBabel it will work in discover Aus but not in Ozi,
so this would be hard i think trying to make a file that will work with all programs, but my server's ftp isn't working so i can't upload an example Discover Aus wpt file.
but if someone would like it. Just pm your email address to me and i'll send it your way.

Code: Select all
function write_points($line) {
global $handle;
if (!fwrite($handle, $line)) {
echo "Can't write to file";
}
$counter = 1;
write_points ("OziExplorer Waypoint File Version 1.1rn");
write_points ("WGS 84rn");
write_points("Reserved 2rn");
write_points("garminrn");
$sql = "select placename, status, map_num, wgs84lat, wgs84long from gnr where designation = 'TRIG. STATION'";
$result = riblit_sql($sql);
while ($row= mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$available = ($row['status']<>"ASSIGNED")?'16711935, 13141291,':'65280, 4227327,';
$str = $counter .','.$row['placename'].','.$row['wgs84lat'].','. $row['wgs84long'] .','. '38003.6840203, 56, 1, 3,' .$available . $row['map_num'].','.'0, 0, 0, 643, 6, 0,17,0,10.0,2,,,'."rn";
write_points($str);
// print_r( $row);
$counter +=1;
}
fclose($handle);
echo "Finished";
?>
Just change the variables for your data
$available changes the foreground and background colours of the waypoint. The other fields in $str are ok with those defaults.
Is that enough or do you still want a file?

Didn't work for me i'm afraid, it downloads as a .ozi file, which didn't do anything. I tried renaming it to an .wpt file, but didn't have much luck.ideology wrote:we've added an .OZI option to each cache
we don't have Ozi Explorer so we can't test it
can someone please give it a go and let us know how it goes?
thanks!
unless there's something i'm lacking in my Ozi knowledge (which is quite possible)
