Ozi Waypoint merge
Hi All
Is there a way to merge my waypoints and a friends waypoints into Ozi and have it set that for example, that mine would be yellow and his would be red and we would be able to see on the same map what each has done to plan a day out.
Thanks
Andrew

Not sure about bulk colouring waypoints idea (perhaps you could do a search and replace on the colour column in a text editor), but you can load one WPT file, then do Load -> Append Waypoints From File for the 2nd WPT file.
There are a number of intuitive functions missing from oziexp IMHO, I often find myself using text editors to do bulk updates on waypoints. eg separating waypoints i've created, from gc.com waypoints.

You can bulk change the font style, font size, fore color (sic), back color (sic), symbol size, symbol, display format, pointer direction, Garmin display format and proximity on version 3.95.2
As for Cachemonkey, I suggested a while ago that it should have a means to select the symbols for found, unfound, hidden and unavailable. I think it will do this when uploading to the GPS, however mine refuses to talk to the GPS so I go through Ozi.
I may get enthusiastic one day and write something to change the Garmin symbol based on the colour. It would be another program to run the waypoint file through but will do the job as Cachemonkey will colour code the waypoints.

At the moment it makes the following assumptions:<br>
Oziexplorer is installed in its default location.<br>
Cachemonkey uses the default colours for its waypoints<br>
The cachemonkey waypoint file is called "cachemonkey.wpt" and lives in the data folder under oziexplorer<br>
Other than that, all one does is press the 'start' button and a file called newcache.wpt is made with the symbols changed to geocache, geocache_found, skull and camp for not found, found, unavailable and hidden.<br>
If you can live with that and have VB6 runtime on your computer this will work.<br>
I'll add some configuration to it 'later'<br>
it is at
http://members.optushome.com.au/riblit/ ... ypoint.zip<br>
On the off chance it wants a file you don't have, let me know and I will make it available.

Either way hardunits. Just make sure you have the waypoint file in the c:oziexplorerdata directory and you call it cachemonkey.wpt, otherwise it will give you an error and go away.
I'll add a config option to accept a change of name and location sometime later.

I hacked it a bit more over lunch - it now has a configuration option for the source and destination files new version has been uploaded.
