I have a list of waypoints in Excel format. Does anyone know how to get them into the right format for Humminbird PC? No program I have will read the excel XLS extension

BUD are you talking about the format for mercator meters. I am not sure what the line is displaying can you post a short example. Chuck

Bud,
If these are in any of the three coordinate formats that we use in our units (DD.ddddd, DD MM SS, DD MM.mmm) than I can help you out. With the original version of HumminbirdPC we could import and export waypoint data as a text file which could than be copied and paste into Excel. The same can be done in reverse but usually takes a little bit to get it right. I am willing to take this on if you are game. Send the Excel file to my e-mail address. It may take a few days but I’ll get it back to you as a *.gpx file that can be opened by the current version of HumminbirdPC.

Greg I have sent you a file of the waypoints. No Hurry take your time. Bud

Chuck These waypoints were sent to me in a Excel format. I tryed to change then into CSV with no luck.

ok Bud. when you select export, one of the options is to save in a .CSV file format. the default is .KML with another option of .GPX. I am so used to plugging in the .CSV That I never checked the other outputs for a format. I will try that. that may be what you have been sent to you. Greg will work this out. good luck and always ask the question. a lot of good knowledge here. chuck
