Transferring Data from Chart Navigator Pro v1.1 into Chart Navigator Pro 2.0

Created: 08/27/2011

DISCUSSION

Tracks
You will not be able to transfer your Tracks in v1.1 as tracks into CNP2.0,
you will need to convert the Tracks to Routes first,
then export those Routes.
The Routes then can be then imported into the new version.

To convert a Track to a Route in Chart Navigator Pro v1.1,
In Chart Navigator Pro v1.1.61,
click the Browser Panel button in the tool bar section,
and choose Navigational Objects.

This brings up a Navigational Objects window from the bottom.
Click on Tracks on the left,
All your tracks will be listed here.

Select a Track in the list, and then click the Convert To Route button in the Properties window to the right,
or
right-click the Track (in the list on on the chart) and choose Convert Track To Route.


Routes & Marks
To Export your Routes made in Chart Navigator Pro v1.1 and Import into Chart Navigator Pro 2.0 (featuring Offshore Navigator) follow these steps:

In Chart Navigator Pro v1.1.61, click the Browser Panel button in the tool bar section,
and choose Navigational Objects.

This brings up a Navigational Objects window from the bottom.
Click on Routes on the left,
All your routes will be listed here.

If you are exporting Routes
Select the routes you want to export by clicking the boxes to the left, this puts a green check mark in the box(es)

In the menu File, choose Export.

You will notice that only your routes (that you want exported) are checked.
Click Next.
Give the Export a name,
then change the file type to Maptech RXF.
(note where you are saving them to.)
Click Save.

If you are exporting Marks,
perform the same actions as above, just instead of selecting the routes you want to export, you'll be checking the Marks you want.

When you are actually exporting, you will notice that only your marks (that you want exported) are checked, and you'll save the file as a Maptech MXF, instead of Maptech RXF for the Routes.


To Import the Routes & Marks into Chart Navigator Pro 2.0 (featuring Offshore Navigator 6.0),
Start Offshore Navigator.
Click on the menu File, and choose Import Data From File.
Change the Data Of Origin field to Terrain Navigator.
Click Browse, and select the folder that you saved the Exports to.
Click OK.
The types of layers it sees in that folder able to be Imported will be checked above.

Then click Import.

You should then be asked which of the included routes or marks in those exported files that you want to Import.

You can check the results in Tools> Marks> Mark List
and Routes> Route List
