Gps Data Conversion


Recommended Posts

Posted

GPS data is all about waypoints. Routes and tracks are just collections of waypoints... so it seems like there should be a way to convert a track into a set of waypoints or a route.

 

Specifically what I am trying to do is get a track from my GPS (Garmin 60cs) into USAPhotoMaps. I can't do it directly because the software will only load routes from a file, not tracks. Tracks can only be loaded by direct connection and the software doesn't support Garmin USB yet.

 

Anyone know of a tool that can convert a track into a route, or a bunch of waypoints?

I never used USAPhotoMaps, but on the pages I was just looking at, they all reference loading tracks as an option.....it shows USAPhotoMap receiving tracks directly from a GPS.

Right, but it does not support that function over USB, which is all my 60cs has.

Well, what do you know! You're right. I had asumed that since the USB connection was there that the serial was not.

 

Thanks - I have successfully loaded my tracks into USAPhotoMaps.
