+kolah Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I am trying to make up trails on my national geographic topo software and load it to mapsource topo. Can anyone help? I don't even know if it has to be gpx. Thanks Quote Link to comment
PerryB2 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I've done it the other way -transferring waypoints and tracklogs from MapSource to NG Topo using .gpx files and it worked fine. So I think it should work. Quote Link to comment

GeoBobC Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 You can also use GPSBabel to convert it. Quote Link to comment

I tried this once; it created a string of waypoints instead of creating a track. I do remember reading somewhere about a program to create Garmin tracks, but I didn't save the link.

This kind person has an on-line utility that in an interface to GPSBabel. I've converted between several file formats using it. Many thanks to the people that made this possible!! http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/gpsbabel/ Quote Link to comment
