Getting waypoints into the eMap from ArcMap
- Create a point shapefile in WGS84
- Use GPSbabel
You can convert the shapefile to a GPX file and then edit the GPS to add xml "name" tags which will appear on the map in the eMap.
gpsbabel -i shape -f GarminWaypointsShapefile -o gpx -F Gar.gpx
Reading from Garmin eMap
Waypoints: gpsbabel -i garmin -f /dev/ttyS0 -o gpx -F current_waypoints.gpx Tracks: gpsbabel -i garmin -f /dev/ttyS0 -o shape -F garmin_track
Sending data to Garmin eMap
Waypoints
I clear out unwanted points, delete all waypoints from the Garmin and then load the new points
gpsbabel -i gpx -f current_waypoints.gpx -o garmin -F /dev/ttyS0 gpsbabel -i gpx -f Gar.gpx -o garmin -F /dev/ttyS0
