Plot file problem

Rox (K),

It is not that big a problem. What I suspect has happened is that you have appended two file together to make the full plot. If you append them in the wrong order this can occur. I will have a look at the data and adjust and let you know what I find. The best way to test it is when you open the track file in Ozi use the Track Control options and open the file using the little button that looks like a document (bottom row 4th along), you will be presented with the point listing. highlight the first point (single click) then hit the target button it will show you the point on the map then go to the bottom of the file and target the last point (make sure the file is travelling the right way ie you start and end this file at the right points then append the next file and make sure it also goes the right way. I generally hightlight the first and use the down arrow to follow the track to the end making sure the target pointer does not jump around.

Basically the mapping system in plotswap takes the supplied data file and starts at the first point and draws the map line from beginning to end so if the data jumps around the line on the map does also.

Anyway let me have a look and report back.

Rox,

You had appened the files around the wrong way - there was two days worth of data in the file one being 12 Sep 05 and 13 Sep 05. Your original had the 13 before the 12 so when the map systm read the file it took the 13th data starting from Boggy hole to Ernest Giles as the start then went to Gosse buff to Boggy hole. I reversed the two sections using OziExplorer and uploaded it back to the system. It looks fine now - Only that you say it starts at Gosse Bluff however the maps shows you start from Gilbert Creek is there a bit missing? I think you may have camped down on the creek.

Ayway thanks for the updated plot file - Do you have a supporting waypoint file also?
