IMPORT Raymarine

Raymarine has its' own proprietary file format that is named "Archive.fsh". The program can import/export that file

structure. Since all files exported by a GPS may be called "Archive.fsh", you may need to get several cards if you have

more than one file. Fortunately, small capacity cards like 128 MB are sufficient. If your GPS allows you to name the

exported file, then you can place many files on one card. You use TOOLS>Import Waypoints> Raymarine>C/E

series format>Waypoints to import these files.

If the GPS was set up with multiple groups (folders), you may get some duplicate waypoints as they might have been

located in different groups. You can later do the duplicate search to find duplicates and near duplicates that you had

entered into the GPS. On exporting to the GPS you will only get your groups as long as they are identified in the Group

column.

Raymarine includes deleted waypoints and folders (Groups) in the file exported by the GPS. The program will ask you

if you want to include these in the import. They will be identified in the Comments column as "Deleted" and in the

Group column with the group name.

If for some reason you cannot get this program to import the file, Raymarine has a free utility on their web site available

to registered users called RayTech Planner. Use the RayTech Planner Utility to export a RWF file. In RayTech, Select

File> Import/Export Routes and Waypoints> Export to File> Export to Raymarine Waypoint File to save

as a file in the Raymarine Waypoint style. This file will probably be saved in the C:\Program

Files\Raymarine\Raymarine RayTech Navigator\Archive folder. Alternatively, it might be saved to: C:\Archive. Then

use the TOOLS>Import Waypoints> Raymarine RWF to import the file. You will have to navigate to where the

file is to get it. See the export section that follows for more details.

Warning. Be very careful with Raytech Planner. All waypoints are imported into it as unlocked. What this means is

that if you click a waypoint on the plot screen with the mouse cursor, it will move to follow the mouse. This strange

behavior was designed in and intended to allow you to easily move points around. Nice, if you are setting up a sailing

racecourse, but, disaster for a fisherman. There are two ways to lock all the points while using this tool. First is to open

each and every point and lock it. The second is to exit Raytech and find: C:\Program Files\Raymarine\Raymarine

RayTech Navigator\marks.dat and open it with Notepad. Then do a global search and replace of Locked=0 with

Locked=1. Save the file and open RayTech and all points currently displayed will be locked. If you import another file,

then it will again default to all unlocked. Feel free to send a nasty-gram to Raymarine about this serious problem in their

software.

IMPORT Raymarine TXT

The older Raymarine PC Waypoint Utility's tab delimited text file version of their Excel file can be handled by this

routine.

IMPORT Simrad, Sitex, or Standard Horizon

Since Simrad, like Lowrance, and NorthStar has been taken over by Navico, many of its units use the Lowrance USR

format for their waypoint and track files. For those files see the Lowrance instructions.

The icon mix is different from Lowrance as shown below.
