6.12 Export Tracks

The only tracks export available at this time are for Google Earth and GPX. Generally, most people don't export tracks

back to a GPS chart plotter anyway.

6.13 Tag Waypoints

Whenever you combine waypoints from several sources, you will want some way of differentiating which are which

because some sources may have bad waypoints. If you are typing them in yourself, you can give them distinctive names.

If however, you are combining an existing file from a friend, this routine will let you tag all the waypoints in that file

with his initials before combining it with yours. The tag is a 2 or 3 character group placed at the right end of the 32

character DESCRIPTION. An alternative is to COLOR ALL the friend’s waypoints. If later, you want to delete the

friends points from your file, you can use: File Sort File>sort by TAG or Color and then use File>Split File to

delete them.

6.14 Swap/Fill Fields

You may get a file of waypoints from a friend that is organized with the TD columns swapped or you may import a file

where the Description and Comments are swapped or the Name or Group fields are empty. This command will

swap the TD1 and TD2 columns or the Description and Comments columns or the Depth and Rating columns in the

file. If you import a file and the GPS short name ends up in the description field, you can copy that to the Name

field.

If you open a file made with a previous version of this program, the Name field will be linked to the Waypoint number.

To change that use the FILL Name Field selection that brings up the following dialog.

The way linking works is that unless you enter a name in the Name field, it behaves just like the number column on the

left side of the spreadsheet. The program handles this by having a blank name in the field. If you put in a name, then,

thereafter, the Name sticks to that waypoint. To return a waypoint to a linked condition, erase the Name on the

spreadsheet. To set all waypoints to a linked condition, use the second button on the form above. Most of the time,

when you import a file, the names become fixed at whatever was in the GPS even if that is a number.

If you get a file imported that needs Group names but does not have them, you can use the Fill Group Field selection.
