Hi. I have a file in Microsoft Excel and I want to convert it so I can put it in Garmin Mapsource. Is this possible?

Hi Peter,

What kind of data is in the Excel file? Without knowing that, it's impossible to say if it can be converted.

The simple answer is that there are conversion programs and web sites out there that can convert between a large variety of formats. It all depends on what data you want to convert.

sorry it´s xls file

Yes, I know that Excel makes .xls files. We need to know what kind of data is actually in the file. Is it addresses? Is it waypoints with latitude and longitude coordinates? Is it Points of Interest?

Exactly what is in each column?

yes it´s waypoints and the line look as this
580780 11166235 Måseskär

or you have the line look like this
Latitud: 58 01,263 Longitud: 11 14,951

and if i can look in lowrance waypoint file

You might need to use Excel to save your file as a .CSV file before doing the conversion.

Here is one possible solution. It seems to be a popular one.
