+Moosede Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Does anyone know how to import coordinates into Streets and Trips? Thanks in advance! Moosede Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 You'll need to get your coords into a text format. GPSBabel is a free program that will convert files containing coordinates (Like Geocaching .LOC) into many other formats, including Streets & Trips. I'm not sure if it's the same (I use MapPoint 2006) buy you'll then need to use the import data wizard to import the text file and it will make them into pushpins. Quote Link to comment
+Moosede Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 Thanks for the help. I got it downloaded but do not see a topografix data file listed to convert from. Still need help. Moosede Quote Link to comment
+cache_r_joe Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 You want to convert the Loc or GPX file to a csv or xls file. You can import those files into Streets and Trips. I do this all the time, but use GSAK to do it. GSAK has GPSbabel under the hood. As an FYI, you can also connect a garmin USB GPSr to use with Streets and Trips. Download Spanner from Garmin's web site.... works great. Joe Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Use GPS Babel and make certain the output is a .csv file for Microsoft Streets and trips and then import it - I do this alot as well. I usually use the graphical shell for babel but if you need the command line parameters - let me know.... Quote Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Relocating this to the "GPS Units and Software" forum in case they have something to add. Quote Link to comment
+SgtSue Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 As said you must convert your data into a .csv (comma seperated values) or .xls (.xls is Excel) file several programs will do this for you. Personally I use GSAK. Start Streets and Trips then at the top go to "Data" then "import" browse to file location and a wizard will guide you through the purpose. Quote Link to comment
+Bad_CRC Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 does this allow you to import them/export them to pocket streets so you can use them in your PDA? I just bought streets and trips 2006 with pocket streets cause I thought it would let me do routing on my pocket PC with GPS, but it doesn't. would be good if it let me do caches on there.

+SgtSue Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Yes it does. This is off the top of my head and I've only done it once but I think in Streets and Trips you go to "file" "export" then look for the Pocket S&T option. Quote Link to comment
