We can set each panel to the appropriate location to do a transfer. For example, the above figure shows us ready to
transfer a file from the SD card to the PC_Planner memory (internal database). Once in PC-Planner, the file then can be
exported to the LoranGPS folder in the PC as an XML file for import into the program or shifted to an SD card
(assuming it was on a C-Card) for direct import. XML files for PC_Planner have a unique naming convention. They
have a name followed by .UP.XML where UP means User Points. Multi_UP means that there are multiple Icon types in
the file. XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language and is similar to HTML as used for Internet web pages.
Once files are in the PC_Planner memory, they can then be transferred back to the SD card or C-card for export. In
navigating on this screen, a folder with two dots following it is an old style shortcut meaning go up one level in the
directory tree.
If you go to the "View" option on the tool bar on PC Planner, then "settings", you will see several options a.) Generic,
b.) Furuno, c.) GP-7000, and d.) NavNet 2. The correct settings may depend on what model you have. This will
change the Icon set and possibly other items
Import Furuno GP1870F
The Furuno GP1670/1870 series uses a file structure with file names like: File0001.PNT that are text files with a twist.
Some of the numbers are in a textual representation of hexadecimal numbers. The overall structure looks a bit like
XML. This unit can store 30,000 waypoints. The maximum length of the Name is 12 characters and of the
Comments is 64. You have a choice of 8 colors and 16 icons. Colors and icons will be translated to the program's set
as applicable. . Keep in mind that the names should be unique. If you have a maximum large file, it can take 10s of
minutes to do a transfer from GPS to/from the SD card. There are parameters in the file such as depth, bottom type, fish
sizes, temperature, and date-time that are not user editable and only get in the waypoint when it is saved while you are on
the spot and have the appropriate transducer.
Import Furuno GP7000
The Furuno GP7000 uses a file structure with the file name USERIMG.BIN (developed by C-Map) as previously
described. This unit can store 2000 waypoints. The maximum length of the Name is 12 characters and for the
Comments is 13. You have a choice of 8 colors and 16 icons. For the SD and CF card types, you can use the
Furuno>GP7000 import/export capability. Keep in mind that the names should be unique. Colors and icons will be
translated to the program's set as applicable. See the C-Map section above for more details.
Instructions for Furuno NavNet 3D transfers.
The NavNet 3D units have different software from the NavNet 2 machines, but they do use SD cards for data transfers.
