+Team Tired Boy Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I'm thinking of getting an iFinder, but it doesn't look like GSAK supports Lowrance units. So what do you Lowrance owners use? Quote Link to comment
+IVxIV Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 GSAK (and GPSbabel) supports Lowrance iFinder .USR formats just fine. => read this <= Nice thing is, all iFinders (except GO & GO2) also support MMC/SD memory chip interface, so you can lug around up to 1Gb of data be it waypoints, trails, or for Lowrance some of the best TOPO mapping detail around Quote Link to comment
+Tahoe Skier5000 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Since I havent shelled out the money for Mapcreate yet, I'm using GDM6 for waypoint transfer, and gpsbabel for the waypoint conversion. Thats it! No offense to Clyde or anything, but the swiss army knife program is too much for me. I dont cache that much to need that many customizable option. (it is a good program though from what I hear) Quote Link to comment
reidster Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Being the impatience sort and unable to wait for GSAK/GPSBabel updates, I've rolled two of my own utilities. If anyone is interested, I'll freely send these to you. One is an MS Excel application. It will allow you to easily import downloaded LOC files, as many as you'd like, into a single spreadsheet. Here you can do all the waypoint management you need. Then click another button to export them all to a single USR file for porting to the SD memory card. The other is a stand-alone application that will convert all the contents of a USR file to GPX format. This is cool, because this allows you to use another free application, USAPhotoMaps, to view your GPX encoded trails overlaid onto satellite images. Reid. Quote Link to comment

I could use the GPX file export utility. Regards, ------ MegaMapper ------- Quote Link to comment
