Extracting lat/long from My Favourites

 

With regard to a Garmin c330, is there a way to extract the decimal degree latitudes and longitudes from points that have been saved as "Favourites" in "My Locations" rather than Custom POIs? I'd like to remove some of my "Favourites" but don't want to lose the geographic co-ordinates. Cheers.

Using MapSource

Using MapSource to backup your favorites to your pc, open your favorites either from the file saved on your pc or sent to MapSource from your GPSr via USB.

Under the Waypoints tab you will see a list of your favorites.

Right click one of the Waypoints aka Favorite(s) location and select Waypoints Properties.

In the new window there is a field called Position, you will see your Latitude and Longitude for that location.

You can highlight the location and right click to copy and paste to what ever you like such as Excel, Notepad or Word etc..

Hope this helps you some. smile

Exporting Favourites

Thanks very much. I'll have to get the MapSource DVD from Garmin since my GPS came preloaded and there was no DVD in the package. Cheers.

You can also use EasyGPS. It's free.

POI Edit wouldn't help with a C330 though - you need something that can access the GPSr using the Garmin proprietary protocol, rather than as a disk.

POI Edit doesn't support that, does it?
