+Maxine&Me Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I just received MapSource and want to import waypoints that I generated via pocket queries. It appears that some conversion must take place. I searched some older posts that mentions other utilities. Is there a way to streamline this process? Quote Link to comment
+T-Mac GH Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 You need to use GPSBabel to convert the pocket query file (GPX) to a Garmin PCX5 format. When saving the file, change the extension to 'wpt'. This works for me.

+Great Scott! Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Try EasyMPS http://www.iancowley.co.uk/caching/ --GS! ...and that's why we don't rent pigs! Quote Link to comment
robertlipe Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 EasyMPS and GPSBabel are the two games in town. GPSBabel will convert approximately a zillion formats. Unlike T-Mac, I recommend Mapsource *.mps format over PCX5. It's a more capable format. (Both the amentioned programs will handle *.mps just fine.) Quote Link to comment
