[CA] [CA11] Importing GPX Waypoints

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

George,

The supplier of these waypoints needs to go back and revisit the FAQ which I had referenced within my initial response. In a quick check, I found that the submitted GPX file violated at least three of the listed constraints (Max # of wpts: 3000 for LightHouse II software; GPX file contained 3010 waypoints), duplicate waypoint name (at least one identified "CALALLA BAY BOAT"), and special character ("Ð" in waypoint СAULIFLOWER).

To identify these violations, I simply imported the supplied GPX file into GPS Utility, ordered the waypoints alphabetically, saved the waypoints to a .csv file (comma delimited), and then imported the .csv file into Excel where I quickly found the listed items. Please note that this list of constraint violations may not be exhaustive.
