Duting the winter 2014, the waypoint database was
migrated to a PostGIS database. This has simplfied the
administration of the database, as it is now possible to
connect to the database directly using GIS software, such
as QGIS. Note that, due to rounding errors, the coordinates in the
new database will differ from the old database on the last
decimal. However, this is a negligible "move" that
will not influence on speed in competitions. After the migration, more than 225 outlading waypoints
wer added to the database. We thank Arne Martin Guettler
and Per Morten Løvsland for their work on
collecting these points. At the same time, the Web-interface was also migrated
from Perl to php. Even if the new interface has been
tested thoroughly, bugs may still exist. If you have
problems with the new interface, contact the administrator
using this form, and download
old waypoints from the old
interface until the bug has been fixed. |
