Export way points from Basecamp to excel in UTM

Former Member over 11 years ago

I know Garmin has not bothered to address this issue but has anyone found a way to export location data from basecamp to an excel spreadsheet in UTM coordinates?

As of now it forces you to export it into excel in Lat/Lon even if you have UTM set as your coordinate system. :mad: :mad: :mad:

(Nudge...Nudge to Garmin, guys you need to quit messing around and fix this, not everyone in the world wants their data in Lat/Lon).

Thank you.

Another option is to use Garmin MapSource. Export the waypoints from BaseCamp as a GPX file, then open that in MapSouce.
Then in MapSource, go to File > Save as, and set type as "Text (Tab delimited)". That will have the coordinates in whatever format MapSource is set to use.

Or you could use GPSBabel to convert from GPX to some sort of CSV format, it has options for specifying what coordinate system to use.
