Can I use SOB to enter waypoints from the Keyboard and save that as a file to upload to my Furuno?
Most Furuno devices allow you to import wpts – using standard WPL NMEA sentences (which SOB can output). One of the Furuno import options is usually “YOEMAN” but beware as this will usually clear all your existing wpts in the GPS, so we strongly advise exporting all wpts out of the GPS first (you can use SOB also to capture these) so you have a backup of them. Then you will have to do some experimenting to find the best method to import the waypoints to the GPS. Use the AllWaypoints form [F10] to control wpt import and export. To enter your waypoints from the keyboard, for large quantities it may be easier to type these into a spreadsheet which can be easily imported to SOB as a text list (refer to the SOB Manual for directions). Alternately, if there are only a few to enter you can use the SOB Wpt tool to place a wpt on the chart, then from the Wpt Form you can type in the precise coordinates for each wpt in turn.
