Hi,

if I start with a fresh GpsDrive, then in the Preferences menu / POI tab select "~/.gpsdrive/waypoints.db" as the Waypoints file, I see some random waypoints at 0E 0N and 0E 90N.

they are labeled like: "+ name" and "+ comment" and "+ source id" and "+ SQLite". Those at 0,0 do not all overlap.

??

    these preferences are for setting a plain text waypoints file like way.txt
    the file ~/.gpsdrive/waypoints.db is an sqlite database to store personal POI data. it is automatically used and must not be set as a waypoints file.

    thanks for clarifying.

    is there a way to block it then? strcmp(filename,"waypoints.db") would help, but not solve the bigger problem that any file on the disk could be selected.

    I have edited the file selection label to make it more obvious, but a strcmp() check would still be nice.
