+Gratefulmike and NaviBear Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Hi all. I was hoping that someone kept an old copy of ExpertGPS that I can get. I got the latest version and it doesn't export in .csv and even though I have seen folks touting the tab delimited option it doesn't seem to work for me to get my PQs into Streets and Trips. Thanks.

Grasscatcher Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Contact support at Expert GPS and I'll bet they can help you. VERY responsive software developer! Quote
+dino_hunters Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 The newest version of expertgps wil export to csv or a spreadsheet. From teh waypoint list window, just highlight the waypoints you want to export, and the right click, and select copy. Open excell or notepad. paste in there. done Quote
topografix Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 A new import option for delimited text (comma, tab, semicolon, etc) will be available at http://www.expertgps.com/beta.asp later this week. Quote
+Gratefulmike and NaviBear Posted February 15, 2006 Author Posted February 15, 2006 Thanks. I'll try the copy and paste plan and wait for the beta release. Thanks again for your replies. - Mike Quote
+dino_hunters Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 that new beta version with a text import wizard is now available here http://www.expertgps.com/beta.asp Quote
+Gratefulmike and NaviBear Posted February 21, 2006 Author Posted February 21, 2006 Well, the new version didn't work for me either because the problem isn't importing - it is exporting. I use ExpertGPS to view/edit/whatever else to the gpx file I get from a pocket query and then export from ExpertGPS in .csv which can be used by the data import wizard in Microsoft Streets and Trips to put push pins on the map. I tried using GPSBabel which seems appropriate for what I am mainly trying to do but couldn't get that to create a usable .csv file either. In that case it was probably just me! This may or may not be what the program was developed for but it has worked for me for several years now and I went into panic mode when I updated and no longer had this function. On the bright side, I did some digging and found a disk with the old version on it and now all is right with the world again. The old dog and new tricks saying comes to mind here. Thanks everyone for the help though! - Mike Quote
+webscouter. Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 The correct command to put in a bat file for GPSBabel is gpsbabel -i gpx -f ".\Mapping\Traditional.gpx" -o s_and_t -F traditional.csv Of course you need to change the Traditional.gpx and pathname to match your input file. Quote
+Ex nihil Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 If you moved to GSAK I think your problems would go away. Quote
+Gratefulmike and NaviBear Posted February 22, 2006 Author Posted February 22, 2006 If you moved to GSAK I think your problems would go away. And you would be correct! I was leery of a bulky program like that but it works like a charm! Thanks. Quote
