Convert GPX to Ozi WPT on Pocket PC
I am heading to Queensland in a couple of weeks, for a couple of weeks - most of which I won't have access to a PC.
I have the new Ipaq 3715, and anticipate using OziCE for mapping and GPX Sonar for cache info. Whilst away I expect to be able to download my emailed GPX files, which I can use with GPX Sonar.
Unfortunately, I can't see how to convert the GPX files to OziCE waypoint files. Can anyone offer a solution to this?

Maybe the waypoint files from roblisa.com would be enough to get by with? You can download cache waypoints by state in various formats including .wpt. http://www.roblisa.com/geocache/

Quite possible, but not ideal.Ebenezer wrote:Maybe the waypoint files from roblisa.com would be enough to get by with? You can download cache waypoints by state in various formats including .wpt. http://www.roblisa.com/geocache/
This is probably what I will end up doing.ian-and-penny wrote:Use GSAK to convert your gpx files into Ozi waypoints before you go.

Rob & Lisa's site
Looks like Rob and Lisa have not updated their geocache downloads since the 28th August. This is a problem. Guess we can't complain too much and should be thankful it is there for free. I do rely on this site now far too much. I bet others are too?

Contact me on messenger Uni, I can D'load and mail them up to you in Ozi format..
Just set up a pocket query for QLD caches and then set the query to send to an alternate address of: unicycle@teampiggy.com and i'll crunch em and mail em to you from there.

Hi
GPX is just XML.
XML is transformed using XSLT
WPT is just a flat file
GPX via XSLT to WPT is a snap
So, why not just use a quick .NET page on the iPaq to perform the translation.
Here's the XSLT
===============================
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data" xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/" >Datum,WGS84,WGS84,0,0,0,0,0
<xsl:for-each select="//wpt">WP,D,<xsl:value-of select="name"/>,<xsl:value-of select="@lat"/>,<xsl:value-of select="@lon"/>,,,<xsl:value-of select="desc"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
================================
Or use my online conversion (as i do) at:
