[CA] AXIOM Pro Waypoint Import Issues

[jkspain]

Hi Chuck,

I enjoyed our brief discussion last Friday, and I am reporting on my results importing waypoints into my AXIOM-12 Pro. Overall, I would qualify the effort as successful as 92% of the waypoints imported so I am much better off than before. I have attached some files with more details for your information and possible resolution.

P.S. Was unable to upload any files. Just got error messages. Will try to send same to you via private message.

Trying again to attach the files but I continue to get a "Can't Reach This Page" error after I Browse to the file location on my PC, highlight the file, and then click "Add Attachment".

As I said in my PM to you, I have enclosed a link to a SharePoint folder that has a copy of the files I was trying to upload. You should be able to open the link and copy the files from there assuming your firewall and security settings will allow it.

The Folder contains file types "docx"; "FSH"; "Gpx". Total size is 1.15MB.

Jon,

When any one of the constraints identified within the FAQ found here, data import may only be partial. I found the following constraints violations with a very quick check of Export Wpts & Rts 2018-02-23.GPX using GPS Utility:
- 92-71 INSD SBK 26F - Name longer than 16 characters
- 60 LADY'S W WALL - Name includes apostrophe character
- 60 SMUGLER'S - Name includes apostrophe character
- 65 ALBERT'S ENTR - Name includes apostrophe character
- 65 FRY'S ENTRNC - Name includes apostrophe character

Thanks Chuck for figuring this out. I had mistakenly assumed the old waypoints that worked in the E120 classic would be OK for the AXIOM but the apostrophe character is apparently a new constraint.

The 16 character violation is because I can't count. That waypoint did import to the AXIOM but the last character (the 17th character) was truncated.
