A6.1 How to Backup and Restore Routes in ASCII
Format
Sometimes it is useful to save some information about a route as an ASCII text file for use with some other
application, or use some ASCII format-generated route in the ECDIS. ECDIS can generate an ASCII text file from a
route. ECDIS can also generate a route from an ASCII text file. The following formats for route backup & restore
are available:
ASCII PROPRIETARY
ASCII POSITION: List of Latitude/Longitude values
ASCII WPT NAME POSITION: List of WPT names and Latitude/Longitude
ASCII POSITION WPT NAME: List of Latitude/Longitude and WPT names
ASCII FULL: All route related information
ORION WEATH. ROUTING: compatible to import-export route information from/to Orion Pro
