Extra_POI_Editor 5.22
Latest BETA version (Jul 16, 2011)

Yes. Nothing very critical was fixed in v5.22:

- Fixed a unit conversion issue when saving using 4-Column CSV.

EPE v5.23
Latest BETA Version (2011-07-30)

I just released EPE v5.23 which fixes the Batch Reverse Geocoding issue where nothing was getting added in the City, State and PostCode fields.

I opened a default account for EPE on Geonames.org to use the free service. If not all EPE users are using Reverse Geocoding at the same time, it should be fine. There are hourly and daily quotas to respect.

EPE users can also register their own username at Geonames.org and put the username in the Preferences to have their own personal quota.

Getting your own username is somewhat optional. How to get a username is described on top of this page:

google has shut down labs.google.com and some of the markers used in EPE were coming from there. Please download EPE v5.30 to fix the problem. Same d/l as usual. Refer to post #1.

Changes from v5.29 to beta v5.30

- Uses markers from a different site. Fixes the missing markers on View All POIs on Map and the markers for the circles in the POI edit window.

Two questions:
1. How to make a gpi file with more than one gpx file with EPE? For example I want to make a speed cameras gpi file where inside there are lets say 5 gpx files each having poi cameras for 50km/h, 60km/h, 70km/h etc. How to make categories in a gpi?

2. Can you add angle alert for POI like GPI creator can?

Cheers,

1. Do a "Merge Open" of all your .GPX file. Then "Export by Filename" and select a .gpi output. It will create a .gpi with the filename as categories.

2. Only Circles are fully implemented and working. You can set the angle in EPE. It will also save them in some special GPX statements so you can reload them later. EPE does not write the angles to the .gpi. Here's why: GPI Creator allows you to set and write the angles to the .gpi but no GPS is supporting the angles (as I am told). If you tell me that angles are working, I'll be please to add them in the .gpi.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I want to create a gpi file with subcategories. For example I want to create a speed cameras gpi file that has three main categories - speed cameras on red lights, stationary speed cameras and places where police stay often. Inside of this three categories there are sub categories depending on the speed limit. Here an image:





Here you can download the gpi file:

and see it.

How can I make such thing with EPE?

2. I didn't know that angles are not working. I will check and write.
