File Format - Speed Racer - March 22, 2006
I have track, route, and waypoint information from a friend that he gave me in GPX format. It doesn't appear that MacEnc or GPSNavX will read this file type. If I use a program like GPSBable, what format should I choose for the output to get a compatible file?
- GPSNavX - March 22, 2006
GPSNavX and MacENC expect import files in Comma Seperated Values.
From the GPSNavX or MacENC help accessed on the "Help" menu...
Waypoints can be "imported" and "exported" to a file via the "Waypoints" menu and "Transfer" sub menu. For importing the waypoints must be in the following format:
name,latitude,longitude,description <newline>
.......
name,latitude,longitude,description <newline>
Routes can be "imported" and "exported" to a file via the "Routes" menu and "Transfer" sub menu. For importing the route waypoints must be in the following format:
name,latitude,longitude,description <newline>
.......
name,latitude,longitude,description <newline>
Tracks can be "imported" and "exported" to a file via the "Track" menu "Transfer" sub menu. The format will be..
date, latitude, longitude, cog, sog, heading, speed, depth, windAngle, windSpeed <newline>
Missing values can be left blank, but the commas must be present
Be sure the latitude and logitude are in DDD.MMMH format. Example 43.222N or 121.083W. Also set the Position Format in the "View" menu to DDD.MMMH

GPSNavX 4.20 which will be released 05/07/2006 can import GPX format waypoints, routes and tracks.

Will MacENC be supporting GPX import? Also, will you be supporting GPX export so that we can upload our tracks to Google Earth?!

Yes the next version of MacENC will support GPX import of tracks, routes and waypoints.
I thought Google Earth uses KML and not GPX.
