Paths

+

Several aspects of GPXSee are controlled by data/configuration files + stored in either global(system) or user directories. The global paths to + those directories are as follows:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +
Windows:C:\Program Files\GPXSee\
Linux:/usr/share/gpxsee/
OS X:/Applications/GPXSee.app/Contents/Resources/
+ +

User specific directories that - when present - override the global + directory have the following paths1:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +
Windows:%APPDATA%\GPXSee\
Linux:~/.local/share/gpxsee/
OS X:~/Library/Application Support/GPXSee/

The expanded user specific paths, including the actual configuration + directories, are also accesible from the GPXSee "Help" menu.

Waypoint symbols

Waypoints that have a symbol name (GPX <sym> tag) defined + can be shown with an icon corresponding to the name. The icons are searched + in the global/user symbols directory and the icon is selected when + the image basename (without extension) matches the symbol name.

Maps

Two kinds of maps are supported by GPXSee - online maps and offline maps. You may either load them "ad hoc" from the GUI or they can be loaded - automatically at program startup from the following directory:

Windows:C:\Program Files\GPXSee\maps
