Maxsea waypoints/routes/tracks into OCPN?

G'Day All,

After a brief search of the help files, I'm left wondering if one can convert data files from Maxsea (V.11) to be compatible with OCPN. I have lots of useful stuff saved and would like to access it if possible.

Any help?

Thanks,

Jim

or GPSBabel.. JimBim reports here http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...tml#post400483 he only gets wpts out of GPSBabel I'd maybe be reaching for my handy-dandy G72Win to put em together...
Somewhere, I noted the fix if you end up with a million (circles)waypoints instead of a nice line...can't find it-darn but it's out there.
