want the fields filled. If nothing is specified for the Name field, it will be linked to the waypoint number. This linking

allows you to name some of the waypoints and leave the rest linked. The way linking works is that unless you enter a

name in the Name field, it behaves just like the number column on the left side of the spreadsheet. If you put in a Name

(even if the name is a number), thereafter the Name sticks to that waypoint. As an old V5 or V6 file is opened, the Icon

field is set to "x" and the depth field is left blank. If you earlier put the depth into the Rating field, you can now swap

these two fields.

If you get a file of waypoints from a friend, you can Tools>Tag or Tools>Color All of his waypoints prior to

combining them into your file. This makes it easier to identify them.

If you later want to take them back out after blending them in, you can File>Sort by color or TAG and then File>Split

the file by waypoint number.

If you fish in the Northeast US, take a look at our web site and read the selection in the FAQ called "It's not your Loran".

This will alert you to important changes in the Loran system potentially effecting your numbers by 400 ft or so.

Basically, on Jan 17, 2007, the Government changed the timing of the 9960 and 8970 chains by about 0.5 microseconds,

claiming that this was an improvement. Some of my northern customers have also indicated that they experienced

summer/winter variations in their loran waypoints. Apparently the change from green foliage to no foliage and snow can

affect the loran signal delay.

Make a cheat sheet for the function keys. Cut a long narrow sheet of paper and put the definition of each of the F2

through F10 keys on it. Better yet, make 2, one for general operations and one for the Edit>Add Waypoints quick

typing aids.

If you accidentally delete a waypoint in a file that is not numerically or alphabetically sorted and want to restore it to the

same place it was, do one of the following. Add the waypoint and give it the missing date code and then File>Sort by

Date Code. Alternatively, File>Split the file by waypoint number at the point you want to add the waypoint. Then

Edit>Add the waypoint to the first part and finally File>Combine the second part with it.

To make a graphic of where your maps are, use MAP>Show-All-Maps. You can print this graphic.

Remember, it is important to keep a record of all the data you have, even the dud ledges. Give them a low rating, and

then, when you accidentally come across them in the future, you will have something on them. Otherwise, you may be

constantly rediscovering them and wasting time and fishing effort.

If you are uploading a file to a GPS, leave some waypoint memory empty so you can add instant finds. You can also

make your inlet(s) and fog course from the inlet to the dock the first or last few entries in the uploaded file by

appropriately naming those points. That way, navigating home is easier. Most GPSs sort the name column

alphabetically. Leading 0s keep the number sorting the way you want it. If you make the inlet "0000" that will make it

the first point.

Put the spots you ran across but did not fish or dive into the GPS waypoint memory. That way, when you are in the area,

you will see them on the plot screen and may have time to check them out better. Make a hard copy of the stuff you

uploaded to the GPS and keep that in your book. Alternatively, the program allows you to make the GPS display look

very much like the printed output. Just make sure that the file version in the GPS is the same as you printed in your

book. That way, you synchronize the stuff you upload to the GPS to match your book so that you can scan the book for

the points you see on the chart plotter and find out what is near and how good it is.

If you import a file and the name column is not what you would like, there are ways to handle that. In the

Tools>Change/Fill fields menu, you will find salvation. When you export a file to a GPS and the name field is

linked to the waypoint number, what you get back when you re-import the file from the GPS is fixed numbers, but,

possibly, without the leading zero. If you sort the file by name, those waypoints that are fixed numbers or names will

be clustered and you can split the file to separate it into named waypoints, numbered waypoints and linked waypoints.

Then you can operate on these files separately with Change/Fill fields and re-combine them later.
