saving as csv defaults to UTM

[jocoyn]

Help! - I need to communicate waypoints from our searches to law enformcement in lat longs as opposed to UTMs.  When I go to save the file as a csv file which would be the easiest way to get them the data [so I can put it into a written report] , it defaults back to UTM, even if I change my preferences to Lats/Longs.  {we prefer to work in UTMs but our entire state law enforcement is set up on lats/longs in WGS 84}

Is there any way around this? All I want is tabular summary of waypoints, lat longs, and comments.

I can *see* them in the file properties box in lats and longs but it defaults back to UTM when I go to save and we are not going to be able to change an entire state over to UTM even though it is a much more sensible coordinate system.

Also, when I go to manually enter a waypoint is there anything I can do about the time - some of these show as 1969.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply on this -- apparently the notifications for the forum got turned off and I didn't see this until now.

You are right that the .csv export is always UTM.  I would suggest using the Maptech .MXF format.  It's essentially a .csv (and will load up the same in excel, for example).  The waypoints there will output in lat lon and WGS84.

Hope that helps.

Re: time.  Thanks for pointing that out.  Must be a new-ish bug.  I am seeing it too on new waypoints.  I'll get it fixed for the next release.

Works like a charm.
