How to import waypoints into Ranger 2

02 August 2022


Follow the procedure below to import waypoints into Ranger 2 software.

Ensure the waypoint options are enabled in Ranger 2.

Select Tools > Options > Menu.

Select Tools > Waypoints and confirm the Import and Remove All check boxes are selected.

Generate a file (for example, in Excel) using the waypoint information.

The column format is:

  • Name
  • WAYPOINT
  • Easting
  • Northings
  • Depth (all can be “0”)

A sample format is shown in the table below:

WP 1 WAYPOINT 650779 5688851 0
WP 2 WAYPOINT 650811.5 5688818 0
WP 3 WAYPOINT 650779 5688786 0
WP 4 WAYPOINT 650746.5 5688818 0

Save the Excel file in .csv format.

Rename the .csv file to .nav (example: waypointtest.csv > waypointtest.nav).

Select Tools > Waypoint > Import… to import the waypoint.

Navigate to the folder the waypoint .nav file is saved in and then select Open.

The waypoint should now be imported to Ranger 2 and displayed. If the system is set to a different reference display format (reference frame) from WSG84, the Ranger 2 system will automatically convert it (example Lat/Long below).
