GPS waypoint and route bulk editor/ creator Bets Test
Hi All,
I joined a race crew for the winter and spent hours trying to get the
courses into my GPS I got so frustrated I thought there must be a better
way. I tried a number of programs and couldn't find anything where I could
just enter the courses in a straight forward way.
So, I build a program that does it. It allows you to work on one page and
edit all the waypoints and routes. I found that creating a single route
using OpenCPN (Open CPN uses real charts so you can click on the official
locations). Just traversed in order listed on the course sheet and that
creates a gpx file with numbered waypoints. Import that into my program
and change the numbers into the mark names, then enter the routes, and
download the new gpx file. To enter the routes, you just type them in. For
example, this is course 4.
4: SPYC 4, SPYC 6, E1
You just type it in and then type the next one on the next line. No
properties to open. Very simple.
By the way, if you enter latitude and longitude to set waypoints, you can
enter them in almost any format. "W122.23765" or "-122 25 13.76" or any
number of other formats. You should be able to copy and paste from any
other listing regardless of how they wrote it. You could even enter
"38.76548, 122 25 13.76 W" if that is how you want.
I need some Beta Testers. Here it is http://l-36.com/waypoints.php
Enjoy and let me know what you think.
