Program to move waypoint from PC to Chartplotter

[Mickey Goodman]

I just purchased a Raymarine RC320 Chartplotter with a WAAS GPS. I have all my waypoints listed in an Excel spreadsheet and would not like to take the time to enter them individually into the Chartplotter.Does anyone know of a software program that can transfer waypoint from the PC to the Raymare chartplotter? I do expect that I would have to re-enter them into the PC program but would be prefer exporting them out of Excel into the PC program.Your Help is greatly appreciated.

Nobeltec-Garmin Transfer

Hi, Mickey! How's the 2002 sailing going?We just bought a Garmin 182 chartplotter and did the waypoint transfer from our PC (Nobeltec) to the Garmin. What PC software are you using and can you find a common data transfer language between the PC software and the Raymarine plotter? That's the key. The Garmin plotter would not do the transfer under NMEA; it would only do it in the proprietary 'Garmin Data Transfer' made. Fortunately, Nobeltec supports 'Garmin Data Transfer', and it was very quick and very simple.We have not seen any transfer protocol for transferring from an Excel spreadsheet, but that doesn't mean that there isn't one. Try calling Raymarine (??).Carl and Jules/v 'Syzygy'
