[Qgis-user] QGIS 1.7.0 and Waypoint Symbols

[Sam Vekemans]

Correction..
It appears that with polish-mp there is a version available with
tag-matching   (polish-mp is the step before making garmin IMG maps & Icons)

http://osm2mp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/osm2mp/polish-mp/

and from mkgmap it appears that the cyclemap version is available
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/export/garmincyclemap/preprocess/cycling-map-features.csv
from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/help/custom

So it looks like there are options & some work for me todo :)

I dont' want to tie up the list anymore... so if anyone is already working
on this aspect of qgis, please contact me, i'm happy to help :)

Thanks,
Sam
