Supported GPS data formats are; data file downloaded form a GPS equipment of the GARMIN via a PCX software or data from an equipment which provides with the compatible data format, and data in POT format compatible with DmapWin(@nifty FGPS) standard format.
(1)TRK File
This has a compatible data format with PCX5. There are some TRK files which are not compatible with PCX5. Please be careful.(2)WPT File
The TRK consists of a series of consecutive point data to display the route. A TRK data may consist of some different paths.Example:
H SOFTWARE NAME & VERSION
I PCX5 2.05
H R DATUM IDX DA DF DX DY DZ

This file is compatible with PCX5. There are some WPT files which are not compatible with PCX5. Please be careful.(3)RTE File
The WPT is for displaying points with names. A WPT file may consist of some different way points.
The WPT file format which was output by the Waypoint+ is not supported. Please select POT format below for the Waypoint+.
This file is compatible with PCX5. There are some RTE files which are not compatible with PCX5. Please be careful.(4)POT File
The RTE is data consists of connections by lines between way points.
This can be used as route data.
This is a standard output format ot the DampWin and consists of waypoints, tracks, and routes.(5)NEMA File
For sample and detail information of this file please refer to @nifty FGPS or Home Page of Mr.Nakazawa (both in Japanese).
If you read data of the Waypoint a free software by Mr. B.Hildebrand select [POT Format Standard].
NEMA data form GPS receiver can be downloaded. [NEMA/IPS file import plugin] is required to be installed. Plugin can be downloaded from the home page of the Kashmir.(6)IPS File
IPS data from SONY receiver can be downloaded. [NEMA/IPS file import plugin] is required to be installed. Plugin can be downloaded from the home page of the Kashmir.(7)CSV File
Inport/export between the GPS database (GDB file) and CSV (format with comma separated). [GPS tool plugin] is required to be installed. Plugin can be downloaded from the home page of the Kashmir.Display of Coordination
Supported coordination formats by the Kashmir are;
DMS format (DDDMMss.ss) deg min sec. sec
DMM format (DDDmm.mmmm) deg min.min
DEG format (dddd.ddddd) deg.deg
POT format (ddd'mm'ss.s') deg min sec
About DATUM conversion
Normally no DATUM is specified in an elevation data.
Consequently the DATUM conversion is done according to the conditions
below.
(a)Digital Map of the Geographic Survey Institute Japan or its compatible
data
TOKYO-DATUM is supposed. The distance between the TOKYO central coordination
and WGS coordination is supposed to be (-146.43, 507.89, 681.46).
Even if the GPS data have an original conversion parameter the values
above are used.
(b)Other elevation data
For other elevation data the WGS84 is supposed as the DATUM.
When a GPS data is read each GPS data point are converted to the DATUM.
The DATUM for the Map Viewer can selected by [View] - [Select Datum].
