How to import turnpoints into SeeYou
Hi,
Most of my turnpoints are already on the SeeYou program. I'd say maybe 95%. But there's alot of turnpoints that are on the worldwide turnpoint exchange for my club, that are missing from SeeYou. Such as Ashland and Ashland2 from wolf river, tn turnpoints Any help would be appreciated. Scott |

Scott 1) Download the waypoint file - preferably in SeeYou format (.cup) 2) Launch SeeYou 3) File - Open - select the downloaded file 4) Click "yes" when the dialog comes up to ask you if you want to append the file to existing waypoints 5) Decide if you want to add waypoints that may duplicate existing ones - SeeYou will ask you on a case-by-case basis 9B |

Does anyone know how to remove those turnpoints without deleting the entire SeeYou waypoint file? For instance, I want to delete the old Cordele turnpoints when the new 2010 version comes out. Otherwise, I may reference an out of date turn point. Lane |

Lane Obviously you can delete individual waypoints within SeeYou by hand. Not fun. For small waypoint files you can just load the new file and answer the dedupe questions to use the new waypoints. For large waypoint files this may not be fun. You can also "Save As" a .CUP file and then edit/merge the waypoints in your favorite text editor. Probably the easiest way normally is to save (or re-download) all the source files that make up your SeeYou waypoints. Delete all the waypoints in SeeYou and load the individual files again. Meaning you have to carefully go though the dedupe questions again. For the several overlapping areas I fly somebody maintains a local .CUP file that is a very carefully done manual merge/dedupe of several soaring turnpoint exchange files. The little SeeYou icons set correctly etc. And is very handy. Darryl |

Darryl If you have decent Excel skills you can take any waypoint file that is readable as text (LX instruments use a format that isn't easily decoded) and make changes in a more structured fashion. You can edit waypoint names and numbering (for instance in WinPilot you need leading zeros for waypoints to sort properly), the zoom level at which turnpoint names appear, comment fields, waypoint type designation (airport, waypoint, landing site). The way this works in general is that you append .txt to the file name and open the file using a text editor. Then you cut and paste the contents into Excel and parse the fields to columns (most waypoint file formats are comma delimited). Now you can sort, edit and otherwise manipulate the waypoints individually or in groups. Lastly, you need to concatenate the columns back into a single column, properly delimited, cut and paste the resulting column back into the .txt file save and remove the .txt to turn the file type back to the original (.cup or whatever). It's easier than trying to directly edit the .txt file for anything but the simplest change. The other thing I do for contest flying (particularly if I'm using SeeYou mobile which downloads it's waypoints from SeeYou desktop) is remove ALL the waypoints from SeeYou then load the official contest waypoint file first followed by the SeeYou waypoint file and decline the replace option for duplicates. This way I am sure to be using the official waypoint designations and LAT/LONs. There's nothing worse than thinking you made a turnpoint on an AST or a MAT only to find that your unofficial waypoint is a quarter mile off from the official one. Once I've made the combined file I'll save it into a .cup file for future use. Typically you need to create a different file for each contest site you fly in a region since where there is an independent numbering scheme for the official waypoints. 9B |
