Draw VFR reporting points using a predefined symbol:
<maps> <map id="VFR REP POINTS" name="VFR" threshold="150"> <symbol id="vfr" text="TERNAT" lat="N0505216" lon="E0041014" color="VFR" /> <symbol id="vfr" text="GRBIJG" lat="N0505231" lon="E0041626" color="VFR" /> <symbol id="vfr" text="ATOM" lat="N0505342" lon="E0042029" color="VFR" /> <symbol id="vfr" text="BRUCAR" lat="N0505420" lon="E0042726" color="VFR" textpos="N" /> <symbol id="vfr" text="PEUTIE" lat="N0505555" lon="E0042748" color="VFR" /> <symbol id="vfr" text="MECH" lat="N0510042" lon="E0042746" color="VFR" /> <symbol id="vfr" text="ABMECH" lat="N0510117" lon="E0043023" color="VFR" textpos="W" /> <symbol id="vfr" text="NOSSE" lat="N0505210" lon="E0043038" color="VFR" /> <symbol id="vfr" text="BERTEM" lat="N0505226" lon="E0043659" color="VFR" /> </map> </maps>
A map containing VOR points based on the points.xml file:
<maps> <map id="VOR" name="VOR"> <symbol id="vor" text="BBE" ref="BBE" color="VOR"/> <symbol id="vor" text="BBL" ref="BBL" color="VOR"/> <symbol id="vor" text="AFI" ref="AFI" color="VOR"/> <symbol id="vor" text="BIG" ref="BIG" color="VOR"/> <symbol id="vor" text="BUB" ref="BUB" color="VOR"/> <symbol id="vor" text="BUN" ref="BUN" color="VOR"/> </map> </maps>
Use the tag attribute to avoid overlapping text labels
