Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] OZI Import

[Robert L. <rob...@gp...>]

By my understanding of the Ozi file format, it's more complicated than that.

The fifth field is indeed the icon, but parsing it to be "5" isn't enough
for it to be useful to GPSBabel.   We'd have to know that "5" is "Home".
To make matters more complicated, it's my understanding that Ozi uses a
different icon table depending on the options chosen withing Ozi itself for
what GPS it's working with.  So for a Garmin Model X, "5" may be "Home", but
for an Ozi user of a Lowrance Model Y, "5" may be "Hotel".

Just reading the string as a number isn't enough.
