I have a new CN2 and I've loaded a (what I believe) is a carefully formatted .stx file. Tab delimited.

Most of the waypoints show the correct positive field elevation. A few (seemingly random points) show a negative number. Specifically -3277.55916.

The altitude in the file is 320. The column header is Elevation[Feet].

Anyone else experienced this and if so, know what the cure is?

Thanks,

Can we PLEASE get away from windows programs?


Maybe, in 50+ years.

Notepad/wordpad have been around sorta since "the dawn of the PC" (think DOS stuff..... very basic PC stuff). They work and MS has not FUBARED them as far as I can see.

Now, you want to talk about some MS OS's, that is a totally different discussion.

What would you propose? Keep in mind, it has to work with the software you're using, notepad/wordpad work with pretty much EVERY MS OS.
