Transfer waypoints to GARTRIP
« on: 13-Jan-2007, 19:52:59 »
I have MapSource v 3.00 which uses PCX5 waypoints  (.wpt)
I have used TpSelect to produce a file TpLAS399 using format
GarminPCX5AVD
When I try to import this into MapSource I get message :

TpLAS399.txt could not be imported
A problem was found near line 3
No spaces were found after the record ID

Any ideas ?
The format of .wpt files in GARTRIP seems to differ from that in the
TpLAS.txt file

Did you try the format "Mapsource (old versions)"?

Yes, I did try format Mapsource (old versions)
It gives exactly the same errpr message as wih GarminPCX5AVD.

OK, the start of the file looks something like this (agreed?):

Code: [Select]

H Created on Sun, 14-Jan-2007 10:59:19 by TpSelect V2.1
H Format: Garmin PCX5AVD
H
H  SOFTWARE NAME & VERSION
I  PCX5 2.09


It's complaining about "no spaces after the record id" at line 3. This is true - there are no spaces after the 'H' in the third line.

Try editing the file to add a couple of spaces after the H in line 3 (in Notepad or something). If that fixes the problem, please let me know and I will fix the program to do just that.

Seems that your version of Mapsource is being very fussy :)
