Download the list of navpoints in .CAI file format. Copy the file to your C:\cai\data\ directory and give it the extension .dat, in other words, if you have a file titled uvalde.txt then you would copy the file to your C:\cai\data\ folder and call it uvalde.dat Once you have accomplished this then start the GPS-NAV Software (go to C:\cai and type GPS). You must have your GPS-NAV connected to your computer via the serial data port. Go to PC Databases. Then go to Soaring Sites. Then ADD a soaring site. Give it a name and enter through all the other fields until you see POST at the top of the screen. (Post just means ‘save changes’). Now you have a new soaring site with no navpoints. Now choose Exit. Now go to Special Functions. Now choose Import. Now choose Navpoint Export File. Now type in the full path and filename, C:\cai\data\uvalde.dat and press Enter. Select Import All Navpoints. Now it should tell you how many navpoints there are. Select Import XXX navpoints. It should tell you XX
