Great help, but I gotta stupid question. I normally work on Macs and wondered if the transfer process will work the same for them also?


If not, I do play on a PC too, so it is not a total problem. Just wondering. I am just more Mac oriented for working programs.

I dunno. Try and let us know. I'm thinking it will work. In many aspects Google Earth recognizes Google earth files regardless of the file system the data file is on, and so forth. Each map program is going to "recognize" its respective data file.

As far as saving them from here; one can save as (and rename), or rename the files after you download them.
good luck

Okay, I'll bite. Guess it is kinda like moonshine, you don't how good it is until the first guy takes a slug. I'll update when I give it :toasta whirl.

have you guys had any problems exprting the mbt waypoints to your inavx account?

Willing to lend a hand; however, ever thing I have available to me (or support), generally amounted to Mr. Gates getting cash.

Haven't tried it, don't have that type of equipment. But did do a little research and it seems they want a very specific "layout" for the import via web. That would be the first thing to come to mind. It could possibly a restriction in the single file that it can process (just thinking aloud).

What file format are you using for the import?

What is the "error" you get when doing so?

Another valid question is "why are you using the numbers from MBT?" Early on in this thread, many checked out a sample of the MBT numbers to determine that many of them are LORAN to GPS conversions. That process will result in highly inaccurate results.

Now that's a post when it goes on for four years.

Thanks Redlegs

I like that Josey Wells also.

These are great. I am new to the area and attempting to get into some fish. Anyone know how I can get all of these from Google Earth into my Garmin GPSMAP 546s chartplotter? Any assistance would help. Thanks again!

Neither option works for me. Left click just opens the file and right click lets me save, but in both cases the file type is Word. No matter what you rename it, it stays a word file. Any way to get a straight .csv file?

Do a Goole search for gpsutil or gps babble. Both programs are quite adept at converting form one format to the other. Once it's in a "garmin" format, then use the flash memory to transfer (if you unit supports external memory cards).
