To the extent that these units use C-Map cartography, like Sitex, you can use this program to import/export waypoints to

them. 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 with the capability of having multiple (up to 60) older sub files within the

same file. 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 with the GPS or PC-Planner, it creates a new sub file. On

exporting from the SeaMarks program, only one sub file will be exported. That is, it will delete those earlier sub files.

If your card type is C-card, you will need to use the C-Map PC-Planner software access the data card. You would most

likely choose the "generic" setting, which does change the looks of the file on the chart background (icons, etc.). For

importing, have the PC-Planner software read the card and then save an XML file in a convenient location and then

import that into this program. For exporting, convert your data from a DBF format to XML using the program, then

open it with PC Planner and write the finalized file to the card.

If your card type is FP or NC you are probably out of luck. Readers for these cards are mostly unobtainable. Andren

Software Co. has one of each that can be used to read those chips if they are sent to us.

IMPORT Other Formats

Through the use of the GPSbabel utility, a large variety of GPS data formats can be converted from one to another. Of

these, the GPX format is a good one to use to get the data into or out of the program. A copy of GPSbabel is included

with the program. GPS Babel is an open source software program free to anyone to use and is user supported. To use it,

you select Tools>Import Waypoints>Other Formats. This brings up the GPSBabel GUI-2 screen. There is a

zipped ReadMe file on the CD that has instructions if you need them. GPSbabel is not marine oriented, so it does not

have many of the translations you might need.

For GPS units that use the C-Map proprietary C-cards, you need the PC-Planner software and its’ associated card reader

to read and write these cards in their proprietary format. I do know that for Simrad and Standard Horizon, you must

choose the "generic" setting, which does change the looks of the file on the chart background (icons, etc.). Sitex and

Humminbird will most likely take the same setting. 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. Whatever works for downloading the data from the card to the PC should work in

the other direction. You would normally convert data from a DBF format to XML using SeaMarks, then open it with PC
