Google Earth, CompeGPS, and Garmin MapSource Waypoints
I've loaded up waypoints for pilots to download (right click Save As)
Google Earth format (kml) (you may need to tell your browser to save as a kml file instead of a xml file.
Sylmar
Ojai
Santa Barbara
CompeGPS format (wpt)
Sylmar
Ojai
Santa Barbara
If you have any waypoints that you want to share please email (jachipman@yahoo.com) them to me and I will convert them to the proper format. All of these waypoints have elevation data.

New Sylmar Waypoints
I've updated the Sylmar waypoints for the upcoming Dahlsten Cup. Here's the current list. We're using the short name so flight computers may better determin final glide calculations.
For those of you computer savy folks the download list above this post has been updated as well.

Fixed it .........
It was spelled wrong on the server (actually it was a case sensitivity problem)

Mapsource waypoints
Chip, since it appears the Dahlsten cup may actually occur this weekend, will you be posting Mapsource (i.e. Garmin) format waypoints for the competition. I don't see any links to that format on your posts.

Upload/download util
Jeff,
Is there a free-ware utility to upload/download waypoints that you would suggest? I'd like to save what I have, then download all the Sylmar waypoints. I have a Garmin GPSmap 76cs.
Thanks,
DT

Waypoints fixed
Two tools I use to convert waypoints that have given me the best results.
GPS Dump. I use this mainly to convert GOOD waypoints to the format I need. If the waypoints are in one of the following formats:
If you are using flychart software to upload your waypoints choose to save your waypoints as CompeGPS format. Flychart can import these directly as well as SeeYou and GPS exchange formats.
Finally if I have GOOD waypoints and need something very odd, I'll attempt to convert the waypoints on-line using an on-line converter at GPSVisualizer

- Ozi/GPSDump files (*.wpt)
MapSource files (*.mps)
SeeYou files (*.cup)
GPS exchange files (*.gpx)
GoogleEarth files (*.kml)
WinPilot files (*.dat)

What happened to the waypoints?
I cannot access this page for waypoints anymore. Are they available somewhere?

Re: Google Earth, CompeGPS, and Garmin MapSource Waypoints
None of these GPS links seem to work anymore. Alack and alas, I sent my 6030 in for maintenance, and as part of that procedure, they had to wipe the instrument's memory of way points and flight log. My beloved way points are no more.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone has the time and know how to re-post our Kagel way points to this thread, or kindly re-direct me to another resource. Arigato!
