I asked  this question before but I can't find the post I just don't know how to do a search right.

 

Anyway I know I have to change MilepostUnitsKilometers to MilepostUnitsMiles but I can't find this parameter in the route file (or router folder) for the St Louis North Arkansas route.

​Can anyone tell me where it is?

 

Thanks

It's in the routes root folder - .trk file.

Thanks DirtyRam

 

I though I had checked that file but somehow missed it.

 

Thanks again

Just saw this.  My goodness... it's been FOREVER since someone used this forum!  Note to self: Check this every day.

 

 

Dave:

 

Did you get your km to miles converted okay?

 

If not, two ways to do it...

 

Option 1. Changing it manually:

 

Open the trk file using Wordpad.  Look for the line that reads:

 

MilepostUnitsKilometers ( )

 

Change it to:

 

MilepostUnitsMiles ( )

 

Exist clicking "SAVE".  That will preserve the unicode. Do NOT use "Save As" as it will NOT preserve the unicode.

 

 

Option 2. Changing it in Route Editor:

 

1. Open Route Editor and select the St. Louis & North Arkansas route.

 

2. Under the "Route" pull down menu (upper left), select "Properties".

 

3 In the "Properties" menu, look for the field that contains "Metric" and "Imperial". Click "Imperial". 

 

4. Exit the Route Editor saving your change when prompted.

 

That's it!

 

Can't believe I overlooked that detail way back when the little North Arkansas route was released.
