GPS- Great desert Tracks cd

Hi Trevor,
my email is mfanetti at iprimus dot com dot au
Thanks

email sent. let me know if you didn't get it ok.

I guess it would be useful to know how to post hyperlinks anyway if there are any guru's about

Hi Greg

can you advise how you make the track show at all zoom levels, i might give it a try.

Ok navigate :) to the
Magellan\Australian's Desert\Map\Desert_Tracks directory

find map.ini file and make a backup copy (note there are other map.ini files in other directorys - make sure you find the right one)

Open map.ini with notepad or some other text editor - find the [ACLV_INFO] section shown below. The number after the = sign determines at what zoom level that feature will be displayed - if you put 0 after the = then that feature will always be dispalyed...here is my modified file with all types of roads always shown.

[ACLV_INFO]
DA_Highways=0 1 10001.000000 0
DA_Major_Roads=0 1 10001.000000 0
DA_Major_Unseal=0 1 10001.000000 0
DA_Streets=0 1 10001.000000 0
DA_Min_Unseal=0 1 10001.000000 0
DA_Trails_4WD=0 1 10001.000000 0
DA_Railroads=1 1 10001.000000 0
DA_Hydro_Polygons=1 1 10001.000000 0
DA_Hydro_Lines=1 1 10001.000000 0
DA_Border=1 1 10001.000000 0

Save the file and away you go

Have fun

Cheers
Greg

Wooops - sorry - just realised you have DAST and not GDT ....OK same principle different directory. With DAST the different states must be modfied individually ....for WA go to
DiscoverAus\Map\Steet_WA and modify the [ACLV_INFO] section in map.ini file
e.g. change this

[ACLV_INFO]
WA_Highways=1 1 1001.000000 0
WA_Major_Roads=1 1 1001.000000 0
WA_Streets=1 1 501.000000 0
WA_Trails_4WD=1 1 501.000000 0
WA_Railroads=1 1 1001.000000 0
WA_Hydro_Polygons=1 1 1001.000000 0
WA_Hydro_Lines=1 1 1001.000000 0
WA_Parks=1 1 1001.000000 0

to this

[ACLV_INFO]
WA_Highways=0 1 1001.000000 0
WA_Major_Roads=0 1 1001.000000 0
WA_Streets=0 1 501.000000 0
WA_Trails_4WD=0 1 501.000000 0
WA_Railroads=1 1 1001.000000 0
WA_Hydro_Polygons=1 1 1001.000000 0
WA_Hydro_Lines=1 1 1001.000000 0
WA_Parks=1 1 1001.000000 0

Keep in mind may take a while to draw as all the streets in cities will be drawn - maybe just try the WA_Trails_4WD first.

Do the same to the other state files to get same effect,

Cheers
Greg

Hello again - to get all "outback" tracks to show you must have the Steets and Trails section in [ACLV_INFO] set to 0 ...ie for some reason some of the tracks in the desert are classified as streets!!.
Cheers
Greg

Hi Bob,
Im just starting to have a play with OziExplorer as a trial at this stage, if you are able to sed me the trackfiles to my e-mail above it would be great.
