Convert to .FPL to use on Garmin 430
#21
Quote:So the pattern would be WPTx for <identifier>? Does it have to be WPTx?

And why not WPT01, WPT02, WPT03?

Either mode is supported by Garmin. Since a maximum of 5 characters. So you have to program to be renamed automatically.


Quote:Regarding <comment> there is software out there like AirNavPro that fills the GPX <description> with reasonable values that I've matched to FPL <comment>. Which software are you using?


We use more than one type of software to generate the .GPX file(like AirProNav, Sar Pro Air, EWAC, PMA, etc), each with its way of generating the <identifier> and <comment> fields. This is a mess. To fix the problem of communication between the software, the automatic renaming of the <identifier> and <comment> fields would solve all problems.


I think you did not put the rules for the <route-name> field, either. I know this field is easily editable by the "Points List" option, but there are no restrictions on editing. Garmim also needs rule in this field.
