The extra list of marks I've got is from a retired charter skipper, i'm more interested in the general areas anyway, so having to input them all manually will be slow,īut the nice part is that he's added notes with most marks suggesting things like tide, season and conditions. GPX format - because apparently the Simrad "reads". USR format, but I guess that's all proprietary stuff,Īnyway, my next step is to create the same list of marks in. By default, GPSBabel will generate USR version 2 data if the output format is specified as lowranceusr. I had a google today and it seems there's an opening for an app to be developed to do this sort of stuff, ie not only file conversion but conversion to the Lowrance/Simrad. While GPSBabel is capable of supporting all five USR formats for input processing it is currently only able to generate USR format 2, 3, or 4 due to the lack of detailed information on some of the data contained in the other formats. I'm trying to follow the link but my subscription lapsed and i'm having trouble logging in to paypal on the laptop. Q2 - If the (55H,) format is required, what format is it so I can investigate further ?Įvo, not sure if this is still relevant but for doing batch files this worked well for me thanks to Owen.once you've entered a couple of marks it is quite routine, then upload them. Q1 - Do I need to convert each new point to the (55H ,) format or can I leave it out ?

I've got a bucket load of marks I wanted to add to the Notepad list then reverse the process and create a new USR file and install back onto the Simrad.Īll my new marks I want to include in the list are only in the S, E, format, The above is an actual mark called P2, a well known mark here in the Bay of Mexico.Īfter the South and East co-ordinates are the numbers in brackets (55H,)Īre these another format of co-ordinates for the same P2 spot ? So it looks all fine in list form showing for eg: I've imported all my existing Simrad "USR" waypoints and created a "notepad" list. So i'm just doing "stuff" because there's not much happening, Finally got my tub back from repairs and now the weather getting better, temp is fine but wind is crap, 4 days off long weekend,
