Information as the time and date when a route was created, and so on. Unique identifier (UUID), which is very reliable and easy to use. This is used to import and export waypoints and routes with a standardized universally The following outputįormats are available for exporting Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks files: There are no export file format options for the system settings file. Theįiles can be copied to a card inserted in the card reader. Regularly copy these files and your system settings files as part of your back-up routine. Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks that you create are filed in your system. This is from p.114 of the NSS Evo2 Operator's Manual: Some formats will allow transfer of more extra related info (if originally available and recorded) than just L/L and WP name, and some apparently do not. In any case, before sitting down to do a lot of typing on a keyboard of the data, I'd have a plan, and test it on a very limited amount of your data input, all the way through to the final destination for the data, to be certain it will work. Also, it looks like the latest official release, does not have the comma-separated-value flexibility that is under development in the developer's release version. Many boaters seem to disparage GPSBabel, but that is probably more of an indication of their computer skill level than of the application's real functionality. Take a look atĮffective use of GPSBabel may require some familiarity with computer data techniques and definitions, so you will have to consider your own expertise in those fields as part of the usability of GPSBabel for you. GPSBabel can import data in formats like comma-separated-values or in human-readable. GPX, and I would give that application a good look. It may be possible to use GPSBabel to accomplish the conversion of data to. your comfort level with computer data manipulation your willingness to purchase a commercial program or to use freeware the operating system of your terminal or computer device The choice of an application for creating waypoint data in. Here I assume the destination chartplotter on the boat can import data in the. You should look for some sort of application that can create waypoint data output in the. The notion of using some sort of chartplotter application or dedicated navigation data application during the process of keyboard input of the data is reasonable. Plain text, comma-separated-values is probably the most universal form for the data as you enter it. If you save the data in a proprietary file format associated with a particular spreadsheet, the data may not be easily manipulated. Also, be careful about file format for the spreadsheet data. I don't know that you have such an application or utility, or know if one exists. Your supposition that you should use a spreadsheet might be useful, but only if you possessed some sort of automated process for reading the spreadsheet and converting it to a recognized file format for exchange of navigation information. I would just type the data as plain text. Your supposition that you need to use a word processor like MS-WORD is not reasonable. At some point, unless you use optical character recognition, you will have to type the latitude and longitude data on a keyboard and into some sort of computer file.
