[Qgis-user] QGIS 1.7.0 and Waypoint Symbols

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi,

Regarding GPX waypoint files (I assume Garmin GPS?)


I have a OpenSource spreadsheet (that everyone is free to edit) where i post
exactly which point features line up with the appropriate features from
geonames & Garmin MapSource & device codes

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am70fsptsPF2dGdSaEwwTUx5eGtzSFdPbmZPQlpBTEE&hl=en_US

I also have created 'Open Map Features'  where i look at various external
datasets and try and align them into a common System of features.  This
chart is also Open Access Editing

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am70fsptsPF2dENGRWNOQ3lmeU5UbWlORFZTZFpvRWc&hl=en_US

And finally, I have created the OSM Map Features Catelogue, where i'm
examining and cross-referencing JOSM/Potlatch2/osm-wiki and the mapnik
rendering of all of the OSM map features.

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am70fsptsPF2dHJxMG05Zmg2YS1LeFg2czRZOWZEU3c&hl=en_US

I do have full intention on Purging this data together  (linking the
appropriate Garmin Map feature with the OSM-tags, based on the Common tags
which are in OpenStreetMap.
... as these Tags will be used for the CommonMap Feature Catelogue (as a way
to unify the OSM-tagging ever- changing schema


...
Is there any way that I can see the qgis pre-sets list???  I could then
include this information in the spreadsheets, as this would be of great
help.

(As others might remember, from my previous posts to this list I still dont
have qgis 6.0 installed on my computer due to the Library file error (where
the install routeen looks at previous versions which were not fully
un-installed)... and I don't have Ubuntu installed.. So can only use Qgis
4.0.
... once i get a new computer, i'll be able to begin working with this
awesome software :)

cheers,
Sam
