This occurs when the user presses the relink waypoints button on the Route Editor. This is the record structure of a route variable used within OziExplorer RouteRecord = record Name:string[16]; Description:string[40]; NumOfWp:integer; Wp:array[1..MaxWpRoute] of RouteWpRecord; end; This is the record structure of a route waypoint variable used within OziExplorer RouteWpRecord = record WpNumber:integer; WpName:string[14]; Status:smallint; Symbol:smallint; Longitude:double; Latitude:double; wpDate:double; MapDisplayFormat1:integer; PointerDirection:integer; GarminDisplayFormat:integer; ForeColor:Tcolor; BackColor:Tcolor; Description:string[40]; end; Date Format Delphi stores date and time values in the TDateTime type. The integral part of a TDateTime value is the number of days that have passed since 12/30/1899. The fractional part of a TDateTime value is the time of day. Following are some examples of TDateTime values and their corresponding dates and times: 0 - 12/30/1899 12:00 am 2.75 - 1/1/1900 6:00 pm -1.25 - 12/29/1899 6:00 am 35065 - 1/1/1996 12:00 am Map File Format In the text below the lines in the map file are marked with a dot.

It does not affect other map find functions. * MM0,Yes Number of Map border points Only 4 points can be set graphically in OziExplorer but up to 100 points can be used when derived from other sources, such as importing BSB charts. * MMPNUM,4 The x,y pixel location of each border point, there must be an entry for each border point. Thes are use by OziExplorer as the map loads to determine the map border points. * MMPXY,1,494,234 * MMPXY,2,4076,238 * MMPXY,3,4012,2855 * MMPXY,4,549,2852 The lat,lon position of each border point, there must be an entry for each border point. These values are used in the map find and moving map functions when looking for maps. These values will be overwritten by the calculated value from the above x,y points every time the map is saved. * MMPLL,1, 147.999332, -23.998496 * MMPLL,2, 154.000701, -23.999946 * MMPLL,3, 154.001025, -28.001546 * MMPLL,4, 147.998983, -28.001469 The scale of the image meters/pixel It is calculated each time OziExplorer is run, the value in the file is used when searching for maps of "more detailed" scale. * MM1B,170.352987 The lat/lon grid setup * LL Grid Setup * LLGRID,No,10 Min,Yes,8421504,255,16711935,10 Min,16777215,8421504,9,1,Yes,x The Other grid setup * Other Grid Setup * GRGRID,No,10 Km,Yes,255,16711680,10 Km,16711680,16777215,9,1,Yes,Yes,No,x The position the map will display when it is opened * MOP,Map Open Position,3008,2324 The map image width and height * IWH,Map Image Width/Height,4440,3590 |
