+TrailJoy Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I have a bunch of waypoints I need to enter onto my GPS. I noticed that if I enter them directly on my device, they all save in one GPX file. Is there a way to edit this file to add more on the computer, and then transfer the file back to my device? I'm currently using MacCaching, but there doesn't seem to be any way to add more. And entering them manually on my GPS is giving me a serious case of "geo-thumb". Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I assume this is a Garmin GPS? Then use Garmin's Basecamp program. Quote Link to comment
+TrailJoy Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Sorry, no. I should have specified. It's a Magellan Explorist GC. Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 The gpx file is just plain text, albeit xml formatted . So you can edit it with an ascii text editor, and if you can work out the xml tags insert more waypoints. Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Sorry, no. I should have specified. It's a Magellan Explorist GC. You can still use Basecamp, if you want. Quote Link to comment
+TrailJoy Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 I did look at the editor, but it seemed a bit complicated in how to enter new coords, etc. I was hoping to find something like macCaching where I could just select "new", and enter my information. No html required. I'll check out basecamp as well. Either one will beat using that silly little joystick to find one painful number/letter at a time. lol Thanks for the quick replies!
