Thread: Looking for encryted .gpi file (see details)

I posted EPE v5.08 beta.

- Corrected proximity and speed alerts for some GPS models. Still no WAV alert.
- When using "File-Export by Symbols (as .gpi)", EPE will automatically add the corresponding symbol as the map symbols. See the rules below.
- As posted before, EPE will read the registry to find your "Language used for programs not supporting Unicodes" and will insert it in the .gpi so it can be viewed properly on your GPS.

Here's the d/l link:

Rules for the map symbols:

Let's say you have a POI file called "My Places.gpx" with one of the POI with the "Anchor" symbol. EPE will search the locations below *in order* to find your symbol:

1- EPE will first try to find "My Places.bmp" in the source folder (where your poi file .gpx or .csv or ... was opened.

2- Next, it searches for "Anchor.bmp" in the Where-To icon folder as specified in the Preferences.

3- Next, it searches in its own internal bank of symbols and automatically adds the corresponding symbol bitmaps.

4- If not found, it uses a small 7x7 square icon as the map symbol.

Right now, the internal map symbols are 24x24 pixels. It is perfect for all new GPS models (like the 37xx series) with high resolution display. For older models (like my 760), 16x16 map symbols are much more appropriate. If you supply your own map symbol bitmaps, I suggest to make them the appropriate size. The most convenient place to put them is in the Where-To folder as specified in the Preferences. Use also 256-color bitmap and use magenta for the transparency.

Note: I don't know about you, but this is getting pretty exciting to me...
