Magellan Mapsend (mapsend)

This format can...

• read and write waypoints

• read and write tracks

• read and write routes

This format supports the Magellan [http://www.magellangps.com] MapSend™ native file format.

Kudos to Magellan for having the foresight to document their file formats, making software like this

possible.

trkver option

MapSend version TRK file to generate (3,4).

This option sets the MapSend version to generate TRK files, since new MapSend versions can't open

version 3 files. Valid values are 3 (MapSend v3.0) or 4 (MapSend v4.0 and v4.1).

Magellan NAV Companion for Palm/OS (mag-

nav)

This format can...

• read and write waypoints

Magellan [http://www.magellangs.com] NAV Companion for Palm/OS is not really designed for this sort

of use, but its file format is supported and with a little bit of patience you can both read and write NAV

Companion waypoints. This conversion is based on partially incomplete reverse-engineering of the record

format, so it may not work with all versions of NAV Companion. It has been tested with version 2.10

and 3.20.

Translating NAV Companion waypoints to another format is as easy as with any other format. Just find

the Companion_Waypoints database in your palm backup directory and use it as the input file.

When translating waypoints back to NAV Companion, though, you need to jump through some hoops:

First, you must merge any waypoints that already exist in the database in your Palm Backup directory

with the ones you are adding; failure to do so will result in only the new points being available in NAV

Companion, even if you give the new database a different name (it will overwrite the old database, even

in your backup directory. That's a feature of PalmOS, not of NAV Companion.)

To merge the databases, use a command line like the following:

gpsbabel -i magnav -f Companion_Waypoints.PDB -i geo -f geocaching.loc

-o magnav -F merged.pdb

Second, you must use the installer to install your new PDB file. Don't make the mistake of copying it

over the existing Companion_Waypoints.PDB file; the one on the handheld will overwrite it rather than

merging with it.
