Start your server again using the same command line as you used the on the second step in this post.

If you can get that to work, you can then try to edit the values to what you want. Make sure to edit the regular as well as the others, so no matter what the admin selects (or even if the admin forgets to select the difficulty level), the same options will be used.

Many thanks for the reply.

I did manage to get it working. My profile with my GSP was not reading the correct path. Took some time, but was figured out in the end when I deleted the profile and it was not recreated.

One problem I do now have is that group leaders are still auto spotting even though autospot=0 in the profile? Similiar problem with waypoints, they appear when in vehicles. Also, group leader waypoint is always visible?

Also, may I ask if anyone knows how to enable own location on the map but disabling all other map functions?

Thanks all.

I'm not sure what autospot actually is. It might mean something different than what you think it is :)
