I have often had a difficult time trying to import a large number of GPS waypoints into my Garmin chart plotter. To make the task a little easier, I just completed a quick and dirty CSV to GPX converter. Once you have converted your data, you can import the file into Garmin HomePort and finally upload it to your chart plotter unit.
I hope the following can save you the time that I have wasted over the years trying to input waypoints one-at-a-time.
I have been attempting to import 2 coastal charts into Homeport for over 2 years. I have finally obtained the 2 charts needed but how do I import those into Homeport? Once into Homeport, an associate has the knowledge to export them into my Garmin unit. Please be advised that I am challenged when dealing with computers.
Thank you, Bob G.
Hey Bob,
If you can post the coastal charts to a place where I can access them, I’d be happy to take a look and see if they can be converted. If it’s possible, I’d be happy to do the conversion and send back to you.
Cheers!
