Re: Using plugin "map"

Hello Bernhard,

thanks for the hints. I will try them.

The wiki page about the plugin map lacks some information:

I wonder how the "MAP" with the "searchlayer" is working with the
tracker data... From the wiki-page:
    {MAP(..)}
    {searchlayer ...}
    {MAP}

What do I have to place in the searchlayer parameters? How are the
trackerfields get interpreted? By type? (A field of type "location" is
the location of a POI? But what about other types?)

In the first example the tracker fields are listet but not the tracker
(which one is
used?)(fields="tracker_field_fieldname01,tracker_field_filedname02"). 

In the second example there is a geo_located=... and a tracker
identified by ID but no list of tracker-fields.

The next example has no tracker and no fields in the searchlayer. How
does this work?

Than there is a File option mentioned. This sounds to me like a XML-
File with the POI used for the map. If this would be correct, it would
solve my problem. But there is no example of this.

Best regards,

Karsten
