Can you send coordinates from excel to a GPSr?

[+ham fam]

So I recently calculated coordinates for geoart. I have all the final coordinates in an excel file. Is there a simple way to send them from the excel file to the gps, as waypoints? I am using a Garmin GPS Map 64s. Windows 7, Office 2007.

I don't think so. You need it to be a GPX file. Maybe you should go to the cache page for that and manually alter those coords.

On any ? mark cache page you can alter the coords and save that page as such. Then send it to your GPS unit.

It just dawned on me, you might be making geoart. If so you will need to create a waypoint in your GPS unit.

Then alter those coords to suit what you need to do.

GSAK will import that which can then be exported to a gpx file. A google search Convert produces several other solutions

No, as the GPSr doesn't read csv files.

But have a look there: Open txt files in GSAK (click here)
