Gday, does anyone know of a converter to change oziexplorer track files (plt) to magellan files (log). Have got Oziconverter but that goes Magellan to Ozi. Trying to download some of my old files into new gps
Thanks The Yeti

GPSBabel also does it ..

www.gpsbabel.org/

and OziExplorer obviously, but I am not sure what functions are disabled on trial/demo version (assuming you dont already have registered copy).

Cheers

I sent one final shout after him to stick to the track, to which he replied “All right,” That was the last ever seen of Gibson - E Giles 23 April 1874

Also - keep in mind that Magellan have a 2000 track point limit - if you upload a track longer than this all points after the 2000th will be missing. Another reason to get OziExplorer - you can filter out points to 2000 in a manner that retains entire track length (but you lose some detail in middle) or you can break the track up into sections and upload individually.

Thanks Explorer, I have Oziexplorer and they are the old tracks I want to convert, but cant get Ozi to go to Magellan only the other way around. However downloaded GPSBabel and works great. Thanks very much.

No worries- OziExplorer does it, so not sure why you cant - if you have latest version and settings are right just use Magellan Menu on top of screen. If this doesnt work check for program update and/or go to Configuration (in File Menu) and make sure you have Magellan USB selected under GPS model.

Thanks Explorer,I had a proper look and changed to Magellan USB. BRILLIANT! Now it works a treat. I am much better behind the wheel than behind the keyboard. I appreciate your help thanks again.
