I've never seen this in any file's I have played with before but it could possibly reference to <gpxtpx:course>138.35</gpxtpx:course> in my last post in aid of directional poi or bearings

Here is an example of bearing information supportted by Garmin in the GPX file:

Code:

Simple procedure:
Start EPE, end it either by the X symbol or File -> Exit (Ctrl+X).
Then open the Windows Task Manager
Under Applications, it shows "Running", same in Processes. Weird part, when press "End Task" under Applications it terminates, but under Processes it's still running, so have to press "End process" also. While running, EPE uses 0% CPU but 400MB Memory, when I end the program, the CPU goes up to 49%, Memory consumption stays the same.

Regarding your M-Column suggestion, I agree with it.

Edit: Sorry, under Applications its not listed anymore after closing EPE, that was FF website which was open and showed that topic. Beside, when I do nothing, just end EPE, then wait 2 minutes and then EPE is also gone from the Windows Task Manager

Hi Paul2,

Thank you for this information. It seems different from what appears in GPI Creator help. There is no <gpxtpx:course> there. I agree with you that this statement appears to do the same. Maybe it is a custom statement made by the people that provided the conversion from .gpi to .gpx. I would list you the one used by Garmin, but I am out of town in the country side of the UK. I do not have access to my own computer. You can use EPE to set a course angle and tolerance and just save as a .GPX. You will find the right statement easily.

Note: I have the sox.exe error as well in v5.18, but v5.17 seems to work. I will fix that SOX bug when I get back.

For those having the sox.exe errror in v5.18, you can use v5.18c instead.

@Turboccc,
Awesome thanks mate.
FYI, v5.18 I added a category and named it now whenever I open EPE the category is always there. I cant delete it with the delete button or the new button.
I opened world speed cams in epe 40 thousand odd cams and could only see the first four. I scrolled down and they just kept going 1 thru 4 of 40,000.
I'll move on to v5.18c now and see how it goes.
I haven't successfully managed to get the bearings to work for an alert yet. Is that just me or are they not working. I recall you saying Note: bearing angles are not implemented yet in any GPS... not sure about bearing angles but gps can tell N,S,W and E
Paul

@Turboccc,
Still got my unwanted Category in v5.18c. Deleted v5.18 and the category remains any thoughts?
In add Poi Between prev poi and next poi it says Label 27.

Find the "unwanted" one and delete it.

Lucky Monday! I added a "Delete" button for the Category list in the POI edit page. If you select one Category and click Delete, it will delete it. See v520a link below:

@Turboccc,
ahh now I understand.
Scrolling was just with the one file think it was probably too large. 40,000 poi's in it, was just letting you know.
Category wasn't bothering me was just letting you know but I did delete it with the method described in post by WknThDg in post #93.
