Exporting Tracks to a Text File

see also Importing Tracks

To Export Tracks simply select the Export Tracks to Text File on the Save menu.

The datum used for exporting can be selected and will default to the datum used for the current map.

The Record format can be selected, I would suggest you use the DMX format for manual editing, this will allow you to enter the Waypoints in degrees and minutes.
