I'm working in a bike ride Sunday the 31st and I was sent a .pos file. I was
told it could be loaded into UiView or Xastir but I'm not sure how.
It looks like this;
*Lone Star Century May 31 2009
A1!3851.26N/09453.59W/ 151st & New Century Parkway
A2!3851.28N\09454.55Wa 151st & Moonlight Rd
Use the "xastir/scripts/pos2shp.pl" script that's in CVS:
> ./pos2shp.pl test.pos testmap
dbfadd testmap 1 'X// ' A1
dbfadd testmap 2 'X\a ' A2
> cp testmap* /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/.
Xastir: Map->Configure->Index: Add New Maps
Map Chooser: Select the "testmap" map
Easy 'nuf?
Thanks to Tom for making most of this easy. His "object2shp.pl"
script was a breeze to convert for this use.
