zyGrib

Hello,

I think the implementation of POIs was a great thing in your application. Now I wonder if it would be possible to download POIs from a server.
Background: I am wrinting this for INTERMAR, german maritime mobile service network, an amateur radio association. Currently we are forcing our PSKmail-Project (see www.pskmail.de). Here it would be interesting to send positions of ships at sea. Currently our server has a script that gives its output in the zyGrib-POI format. Now it would be great if zygrib could download these data itself.

Thanks

You will find the file (zygrib_poi.ini) containing POI or in /opt/zygrib/config or $HOME/.zygrib/config

You could add your own POIs in this file (it may be quicker than waiting the development of this fonctionality).

DomH,

Thank You. We already implemented your suggestion. Our server generates a file, that zyGrib understands as a POI-File. When we copy this file to the config directory, zyGrib shows the POIs in the downloaded file. But we think this is a temporary solution.
So we wonder wherther it would be possible to add a feature for downloading POIs in zyGrib in the future.

Thanks
