Checksum requirement

[NormOnASUS]

I am ubable to convert my lisr of waypoints becase they don't have checksums. My reading of the specs says they are optional.

Hi Norm,

according to the official specification, the checksum is optional for most data sentences, but is compulsory for RMA, RMB, and RMC (among others).

The most pragmatic approach is, when you send me your data and I'll check how it could be read.

Thanks for the response. Here are a few lines from a nmea file of mine
$GPWPL,1924.823,N,08728.572,W,P28298_240104_0715
$GPWPL,1924.423,N,08728.826,W,P28299_240104_0720

Do you have just WPL sentences without a checksum? Or are other sentences affected, too?

There are only WPL sentences.

Hi NormOnASUS,

I've uploaded a new prerelease of RouteConverter which should be able to read the WPL sentences without checksums. Please test and report if it's working.

I'm confused... Route Importer? Google Play Store?

$GPWPL,3018.000,S,15309.000,E,Coffs Harbor (Sidney) is accepted by the new RouteConverter prerelease.

You are referring to a problem of Route Importer but not of RouteConverter. You have to explore whether there are any log files giving more detailed information.

Sorry, I thoyght I got this address from the Google store site.

Back to the drawing board.
