files does not match the program's so some liberties are taken in the translation. If the imported file's Lat/Lon fields are
zero, use Tools>Recalculate Lat/Lon. Make sure the File Properties are OK by checking File>File Properties.
IMPORT MAPTECH & NAV PRO
The program will import the MARKS.REC files of RESOLUTION MAPPING's NAV PRO and MAPTECH programs.
The Cap'n program fits into this category.
IMPORT NMEA 183
NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) standard sentence structures, GCL, GLL, GGA, WPL, RMA, CLF,
RMC, and PNTI from standard Loran and GPS receivers have navigation information that is of interest. The last one is a
proprietary format from NorthStar's DB_UNLOD.EXE. If these data outputs are downloaded into a file, that file can be
imported into the program.
IMPORT Nobeltec ONF
The Nobeltec ONF or Open Navigation Format is handled by this routine. It gathers Marks and MOBs from the file and
makes them into waypoints.
IMPORT Northstar
One NMEA proprietary sentence structure "PNTI" is output and input by NorthStar's WinDBload or DB_UNLOD (a
DOS program) and by the 6000I series of chart plotters. These files can be imported into the program. Those Northstar
units that use C-Map cartography can use the C-Map transfer method described earlier.
IMPORT NorthStar M series
This unit is basically a Navman GPS that is re-branded. For those units using an SD card, the import/export routines will
read or write the data to the card. The file is named USERIMG.BIN and is a binary file developed by C-Map with the
capability of having multiple (up to 60) sub files within the same file. These sub files are basically older versions of the
data. The import routine will show the multiple sub files, if they exist, and allow you to select one or more to import.
Each time you save your waypoints to the card in the GPS, it creates a new sub file. On exporting from this program,
only one sub file will be exported. That is, it will delete those earlier sub files. So, save your original file if anything
interesting might be in it.
IMPORT Offshore Hunter's export
Offshore Hunter exports a text file with a fixed spacing format. The program can handle that with this menu item.
IMPORT P-SEA WINPLOT
The program will import the MARKPNTS.DAT files of RADAR COMMUNICATION's P-Sea WinPlot program. It
places the first 32 bytes of the 71-byte description into the DESCRIPTION field and the rest into the COMMENTS
field. It places four parameters, comma delimited, after the description in the COMMENTS field. These are the RBon,
Symbol, and two numbers (MkJ1 and MkJ2) that are in the file. You need not be overly concerned with the five
parameters following the description as they can be fixed in the P-SEA program if needed. The color white is shown as
dark gray.
IMPORT Raytheon and Standard Horizon
One NMEA standard sentence structure "WPL" is output and input by Raytheon and Standard Horizon GPS receivers
when using a terminal program. If these data outputs are downloaded to a file, then that file can be imported into the
program. The basic data is Lat/Lon and is placed into the L/L fields. The waypoint name is put into the NAME field.
You might need to use a terminal program like HyperTerminal in the Windows>Accessories>Communications shortcut
folder to do the downloading.
