best way to enter multiple similar courses ?
best way to enter courses like this ?
I've got the SFBAY YRA marks in a folder with temporary mark for the committee boat in a separate unlocked folder. The Sailing Instructions call out sequences for 13 variations of course they can choose.
(the Estuary courses are even worse: )
Is there a means to set default rounding side by course for all marks?
On a multiple use mark, how do I set rounding side for subsequent roundings? (detail view only shows one)
Not seeing where I can duplicate courses and then edit?
(nor a place to enter the number of laps? )
is there an efficient export/edit/import table format that includes roundings?
Can the import reference the stored marks and look up by mark name, (It appears that GPX requires Lat/Long, it looks like the Cowes format can do this, but needs 2 character mark names)

If you have a gpx file, that helps importing them

Nick,
I already imported the 50 or so marks, using a csv format. I'm not finding success in importing courses, I can export active course to gpx open in excel, as an xml spreadsheet, copy/paste/edit save, rename to .gpx, and then on import there's a dialog box that shows success, but no new course(s) show in the mark management popup.
For what its worth, I am trying this on an unlicensed copy running in my office, as it has multiple screens, and better connectivity. My licensed copy is on my macbook/bootcamp.
