File formats were provided by Holux-Taiwan + http://www.holux.com.tw to the author. The code was tested + against version 2.27E1; other versions and receivers may + work but have not been explictly tested. Anyone with + information on other Holux receivers is encouraged to contact + jochen@bauerbahn.net. + + When copying the .wpo file to a flash card, the file must be + named "tempwprt.wpo" as the receiver will ignore all other + files. + + Comparing the waypoints of a .wpo files against other formats + like .gpx you may notice a small difference in the latitude + and longitude values. The reason is the low resolution of + the coordinates in the wpo file format. In a .wpo file the + reolution is 1/10"; in gpx for example it is 1/100". A a practical + matter, this loss is only about 1.7meters (5 feet). + + + The generated waypoint failes can also be used by MapShow + version 1.14. This program is free of charge from the Holux web + site. + + This format was contributed by Jochen Becker. COMMON USAGE -- 2.30.2
