From ironbutter at gmail.com Fri May 17 07:21:06 2019 From: ironbutter at gmail.com (saddle sore) Date: Fri, 17 May 2019 10:21:06 -0400 Subject: [BaseCamp] Waypoint Properties Box cells for city, state, street etc... Message-ID: I'm not sure if this is a BaseCamp thing, a GPSVisualizer thing or an operator error thing. I have a large Excel spreadsheet. Each row is a waypoint. Each column contains data for the BaseCamp waypoint Properties Box. Each column name matches a cell in the Properties Box -- specifically, Name, Description, Street, City, State. I also have Lat and Lon, which becomes Position in the Properties Box. I run the spreadsheet through GPSVisualizer to create a GPX file. I then Import that file into BaseCamp. Provided I do not have any duplicate names, everything imports in just fine. But when I open the Properties Box of any waypoint, the only cells that populated were Name, Display and Position. How do I get Street, City, State and maybe other cells to populate when I import the gpx file into BaseCamp? The GPSVisualizer's tutorial doesn't seem to cover this issue/need. http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/tutorials/waypoints.html Let me know if you have populated those cells in the Properties Box, and how you did it.

Not at my routing laptop right now but when working with CSV & GPX conversions, I always find it easier to work backwards, so-to-speak... Start in Basecamp with a waypoint that HAS all the info you want, export that waypoint as a GPX. Open the GPX in a text editor and see exactly what Basecamp uses as a label for each data field you want to use... Now you know exactly what to put at the top of each column in your CSV before converting it to a GPX. -- There is no need to tailgate me when I am doing 50 in a 35... and those flashing lights on top of your car look ridiculous.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Basecamp will definitely import those extra fields if it finds them in the GPX. I have a GPX file that has those values and Basecamp definitely imports them. So the issue is getting your data into a GPX file. I don't think GPSVisualizer deals with anything more than name, description, lat, lon. You need a different way to build your GPX file.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Stephen, Jerry Thanks for the replies. I have been out all weekend, away from a computer (ah, so nice to be 'unplugged'). I started looking into the reverse engineering of a database per Stephen's idea. For an exported BC gpx file which contains things like city, state, street, the internal metadata is much different from one that does not contain the info. For example, here is what it looks like if I export a file that has known street, city, state info in the BC properties box. 'Hondo' Hydrant Tribute Contact, Dog user SymbolAndName 4499 NW 229th Ave. Hillsboro OR SymbolAndName 4499 NW 229th Ave. Hillsboro OR 2019-04-02T20:52:38Z But one waypoint from a file which I converted from Excel to GPX using GPSVisualizer (and then exported it back out of BC so I could view the metadata) looks like this Abraham Lincoln Birthplace NHP N37° 31.851' W85° 44.157' N37° 31.851' W85° 44.157' Flag, Green user SymbolAndName SymbolAndName 2018-12-04T22:02:41Z If it is up to me to alter or actually write code so that example 2 becomes as detailed as example 1, well, my code writing days ended decades ago -- about the time that the IBM punch card went the way of the Dodo Bird. So, Jerry, I will look into GPSBabel (I have used it before but didn't feel it was as user friendly as GPSVisualizer) to see what it does with a file. And, I am tracking down the person that created the file I have which contained example 1 above. So thank you for your time and advice. I appreciate the help and direction.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Jerry You asked specifically about my solution for populating BC properties box cells, so I'll report in. At this point I have found that Extra POI Editor (EPE) over on POI Factory seems to accomplish what I want. It has its limits, but what doesn't? At least it will populate the cells that I want to populate in a BC waypoint properties box. Quite easy to learn. Frustrating to have to move spreadsheet columns around to fit their order, but so far it works. So that's what I am going with for this particular project I am working on. Note -- EPE is no longer supported by anyone and you have to dig around a bit to find a download. The wikispaces site is closed. A bit of install info at http://www.poi-factory.com/node/38068 and some options as to which version with and without installers http://camerabob.dyndns.org:5190/TurboCCC/ Oh, and to answer my very first question..... it was a GPSVisualizer thing. GPSVisualizer is an easy-peasy way to convert files from xls to gpx just as long as you want just a few of those waypoint property box cells populated. I'll continue to use it, but that decision will be on a case by case basis. When wanting more cells populated, I think EPE is my go-to solution now. Thanks, Joe Y western PA .
