+MWPinSD Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I purchased the National Geographics topo map for South Dakota, along with the 4.0 3D and Streets Expansion pack. Now I need to know how to load waypoints into NG's software. GSAK and ExpertGPS exports to .tpg files, the older NG version. The new version file format is .tpo... If I export from MapSource in .txt format, NG says it cannot import it. So, the only way I have of bringing waypoints into NG is though my GPS. Which means I have to download all of the waypoints I want to see into the GPS.. then import them into NG. I'd like to be able to bring a lot of waypoints into NG from Mapsource or GSAK to look at them grouped on a topo map before deciding which to load into my Garmin GPS. Any ideas?

+woggs1 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 All you have to do is filter the caches you want to in GSAK, then in GSAK File>export>National Geographic Topo! TPG to a known location. Then open up a NGT 4.0 map and click File>Merge TPG and browse to the previous known location. NG topo! will add the waypoints to the map.
