Re: [OpenMap Users] Question Regarding an Error Message When Loading Shapefiles

Klaus,

I remember having some problems when I was setting up a CSV layer. I
have included the openmap.properites for a CSV layer which works for me:
You'll need to make the appropriate layer name changes and also add the
layer (in this example Block_Names) to the openmap.layers

Hope it helps! Christian.

#block names for map
Block_Names.class=com.bbn.openmap.layer.location.LocationLayer
Block_Names.prettyName=Block Names
Block_Names.locationHandlers=Block_names_csv
Block_Names.useDeclutter=false
Block_Names.declutterMatrix=com.bbn.openmap.layer.DeclutterMatrix

#attached to block names above
Block_names_csv.class=com.bbn.openmap.layer.location.csv.CSVLocationHandler
Block_names_csv.prettyName=Block Names
Block_names_csv.locationFile=data/csv/block_names.csv
Block_names_csv.csvFileHasHeader=false
Block_names_csv.locationColor=0080ff
Block_names_csv.nameColor=000000
Block_names_csv.showNames=true
Block_names_csv.showLocations=false
Block_names_csv.nameIndex=0
Block_names_csv.latIndex=2
Block_names_csv.lonIndex=1

and an example of a few CSV lines

Well-140/1 -24.8823242 55.8852882
Well-140/6 -24.8811722 55.811367
Well-141/26 -24.8297997 56.0396729
Well-140/7 -24.7000008 55.7602882
Well-140/2 -24.7000008 55.9269524
