Bonii-Prep update v1.12

[Homefire]

Bonii-Prep v1.15 is now available at <turnlink.net/rally>. Again, Excel and LibreOffice versions for both Mac and Windows are free.

As a reminder, Bonii-Prep accepts bonus location information, assigns symbols based on the point values, and exports them in a .gpx file that is a direct import into Basecamp for routing. The web site describes lots of additional rally related features.

The v1.15 update’s primary new feature is support for custom symbols. Basically, when there are multiple groups of symbols, an assigned symbol can be changed from its position in the first group to the same position in another group. Much like Bonii-Prep changes the flag, red symbol to circle, red using suffix codes.

A description of how this works with groups of symbols, is in the Info sheet of the program, including a link describing how custom symbols need to be made and where to install them.

Also added to the site is a download of 60 custom symbols to experiment with.

A secondary new feature is an expanded option to add points + comments to the waypoint name for export. Previously the only options were name only and name + points + suffix. I’ve had some requests for this.

So that’s it for v1.15. I’m always happy to take questions or problems, and look forward to the first bug report.

Thanks to all who have checked it out, reported problems, used it, and suggested it to others.

Download the version you need and the sample custom symbols at <turnlink.net/rally>.
