importing wayoints from wpt files (Ozi)

Question

I do not succeed in importing waypoints from Ozi files (extension .wpt). I tried both converting through GPS-Babel to XML (.gpx) and importing in QGIS with the GPS-tool. Both times set to WGS 84, as is the setting in Ozi.

What should I do?

Answer 1

If you try to import from a GPS... You can try [DNRGarmin] (http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mis/gis/tools/arcview/extensions/DNRGarmin/DNRGarmin.html)! It takes several files (.gpx, .kml, shp, txt, etc) and can convert them to .shp files. Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Global Mapper will convert WPT to SHP
