Hi,<div><br></div><div>Regarding GPX waypoint files (I assume Garmin GPS?)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>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</div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am70fsptsPF2dGdSaEwwTUx5eGtzSFdPbmZPQlpBTEE&hl=en_US">https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am70fsptsPF2dGdSaEwwTUx5eGtzSFdPbmZPQlpBTEE&hl=en_US</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>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</div><div><br>
</div><div><a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am70fsptsPF2dENGRWNOQ3lmeU5UbWlORFZTZFpvRWc&hl=en_US">https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am70fsptsPF2dENGRWNOQ3lmeU5UbWlORFZTZFpvRWc&hl=en_US</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br>
</div><div><a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am70fsptsPF2dHJxMG05Zmg2YS1LeFg2czRZOWZEU3c&hl=en_US">https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am70fsptsPF2dHJxMG05Zmg2YS1LeFg2czRZOWZEU3c&hl=en_US</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div>... as these Tags will be used for the CommonMap Feature Catelogue (as a way to unify the OSM-tagging ever- changing schema</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>...</div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>
(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.</div>
<div>... once i get a new computer, i'll be able to begin working with this awesome software :)</div><div><br></div><div>cheers,</div><div>Sam</div><div><br></div><div>PS.</div><div><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osm2mp">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osm2mp</a></div>

I've been watching for 1.7.0 to get packaged for<br>
distribution and noticed that the source tarball<br>
package finally showed up on <a href="http://www.qgis.org" target="_blank">www.qgis.org</a>.<br>
<br>
So I tried it and what I've seen is very nice.<br>
<br>
I was looking around to see if there is any way<br>
to get 1.7.0 to pay attention to the XML "sym"<br>
tags in gpx waypoint files. With the ability<br>
to add symbol svg files in paths I specify that<br>
is in 1.7.0 I can load symbols that correspond the<br>
the names specified in the "sym" tags. Is there<br>
a way to get QGIS to use those? Generally,<br>
each waypoint in such a gpx file uses different "sym"<br>
tags depending on the waypoint. It would be very nice<br>
to have QGIS render the right images for each of<br>
those waypoints that are in one gpx waypoint file<br>
given that I have made svg files for those symbols.<br>
<br>
Is this possible and if so how? I've looked around<br>
for this in the help and on line, but haven't found<br>
a way yet.<br>
