Can I import routes from nobltech into macENC ?

thanks

Lots of versions and variations of "Nobeltec" out there. MacENC can import waypoints and routes in either GPX or KML format. GPSBabel (free application) can take just about any format and convert it to GPX or KML.

Thanks for the info

Followed up on the great file conversion advice and have converted the nobeltec CSV file into GPX.


How do I actually import the file into "Routes" in MacEnc ???

Anybody been down this road before ??

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Scotty

Per the MacENC help on "Routes" ..

MacENC Menu->"Routes"->"Transfer"->"From File..."

Select GPX or KML file to import.

Thanks once again for the help !

When i do the import in the routes drop down...it all ends up in the way points menu ???

Is this how it should be ?

Do i then have to drag every waypoint into the route menu or is there a quicker way ?

thanks

The best would be to email me the gpx or kml file for evaluation. Waypoints do not end up in the "Waypoints" menu. A route is made up of waypoints. So if the GPX or KML contains a route, it's waypoints will be imported and list in the "Waypoints" window and the associated route will list in the "Routes" window. If the GPX or KML file only has waypoints then there would be no way for MacENC to create a route.

OK thanks..

I've just sent the file

cheers

Yes, the GPX file only contained waypoints. No route. Return to the tool you are using to create the GPX file and have it create a route.

Thanks GPSNavX

Along with your help i read some historical posts regarding the same topic.

I'll be deep in GPSBabel and GPS Visualiser learning how to do the conversion as a route.

cheers
