I tried that way:

generate a kmz-file in google earth

convert this kmz-file with GPSies in a csv-file

with digger qt:

create a new import (named 123) driver type: comma separated values driver in UTF-8 encoding (CSV)

insert the csv-file Coordinae system: WGS84 (dd*mm,mmm)

Source data columns: Longitude-Longitude Latitude-Latidude

single icon for all records
Browse image: insert an icon-file detail und 1:200000

data source type: user data

source column 1 - 3 nur Table activated

compress imported data ticking off

save configuration and run import pressed
indication: import finished
mca-file imported into mobilephone - navigator

but there is nothing in my routes.

It doesn´t work. Can you help my, where is the fault?

Thanks ceefle

Working with DiggerQT is a bit tricky.

Usually you don't generate a route with DiggerQT, you generate a kind of a map. This one contains icons or line, depending on the source you are working with. This generated map shows its symbols on the navigatorfree-maps on top. For a track, something like a route without routing-function, you see a line, as long as you gave it a color.

You wrote "single icon for all records". This seems to me, that your csv-file contains waypoints and not a track or route. In this case you should see lots of your icons on the map. But if you want a line for your route, you have to insure, that you import a route or track to DiggerQT.

Converting "kmz" into "gpx" is easly done with Routeconverter (http://www.routeconverter.de). Make sure you export the gpx as a route or track! You even may use GPSies, but export as GPX Track or GPX route!

*-:)Very nice is to generate a route with http://osrm.at . Here you can export a gpx-file based on OpenStreetMap-maps.

Import the gpx-file into DiggerQT. DiggerQT should tell you in the second window "Imported data meaning: Meaning of imported data is line"

On the next window double-click into the empty white cell under "Style" and play with the possible values there. Good is "line width for detail zoom = 8, minimal line width = 4, shrinking ratio = 10". Important is the "fill colour". Change it into a nice (visible) color like green (15D900). Confirm with "OK"
I usually change the value from "Maximal zoom" into 1 000 000, so the line is good visible, when zooming far out.

Next window just activate "Name" and after that generate your map.

Hope, this helps.

Hello crocodilefarm,

Thank you for your answer, but how can I import a gpx-file into digger qt?

It shows only following data source type:

Arcinfo Driver

Comma Separated Value Driver

sBase Driver

Driver for set of JPEG files

MapInfo Driver

Microsoft Access Driver

Microsoft Exel Driver

ODBC

Postgre SQL

SQ Lite version 3 or

or it is better to use an other digger version (which one)?

After creating the map, in which folder do I have to import the map?

In Navigator - data?

With kind regards

Hi ceefle,

if you don't work with Digger 12, than download it from here:

http://download.mapfactor.com/digger_12.zip

With this version you can import gpx-files.

Put your own created map into that folder, where all the other mca-files are.
