Problem importing waypoints from CSV to a specific waypoint table

Hello csatlos,
something's to be wrong with the CSV file. Whatever I set, I do not get correct position data.
Please name the right column content.

Hello,

the csv importation process works fine, even with the "short" format you are using. All the waypoints are on Vancouver Airport.

Before starting the importation, you should select the waypoint table you want them to be stored in.

During the process, it is important to control the coordinate format you are using in the csv file. In this case, it is DMS.
The control/rectification is made in the way I am illustrating on the attached file.

Hope this helps.

Hello csatlos,
now its clear. Some settings are still making. Or use the zipped "qifx" File!

Veloman,
Da muß man erst mal drauf kommen. Hatte schon alles mögliche probiert.

Hallo Ludger,

das magst Du wohl sagen. Selbsterklärend ist das sicher nicht. Ich habe den Tipp mal von Tom himself bekommen, als ich mit einem csv-Import gar nicht klar kam, obwohl ich dachte, alle Parameter stimmten.

Inzwischen klicke ich bei jedem dieser Vorgänge auf "andere Koordinaten" und wähle das Format noch einmal aus - auch wenn ich es vorher schon standardmäßig eingestellt hatte. Schaden tut's jedenfalls nicht, und helfen tut's auch immer, was man nicht von jedem Medikament sagen kann.

Hello csatlos,

Zitat von csatlos

The points were always importing correclty, the problem is that I cannot ever import them to any existing waypoint tables.

i have no problem to import to an existing table.
Have you ever reset QV6? -> Wiki

@ Ludger's
csatlos kann beim import keine Tabellen für den import auswählen, der generelle import schein zu funktionieren.

Hello csatlos,
try once this:
Click on "QV-Data" => STRG+N => select "New Database / Create standard tables"
than "click on the new Waypoint table" and try to Import the CSV.
Does it work?

Hi,

I remember having had this phenomenon of creating a new database with every csv import. It is really nasty indeed. But since a certain time it disappeared - I can't remember when and by which operation - and I am not able to rebuild the problem neither. Sorry.
Maybe a reset of QV will help.

Another little hint: for creating csv files I prefer Libre Office to Excel. Its preferences (field and text separators, character set to be used) are easier to define than with Excel and its automatic processes. I often use text in slavonic languages. Libre Office asks me which character set I want use: Unicode, and it's perfect.
