Creating Your First Waypoint List

Before You Begin: Export a backup of all data and save it in a secure and easily accessible location. For the app, store a copy in your phone's files or email it to yourself for future reference. This ensures you can preserve your data and recover from any unintended changes or errors.

1. Creating a New List
   1. On My Marks can read a variety of data formats, including GPX and CSV and has backend to support importing and conversion of most file formats (pending). This can be done via a SD card on computer, or via mobile through the On My Marks app using GPX apps such as Garmin’s Active Captain, C-Map, Navionics, iNavX, etc.
2. Import from SD Card
   1. Follow Manufacturer’s instructions to export waypoints manually to an SD Card. GPX is the preferred file storage type.
   2. From the Dashboard, Click the Upload Waypoints icon
   3. Click CHOOSE A FILE, navigate to the saved file to upload.
   4. 
   5. Determine if you’d like to update a previous list or create a new list and click upload.
3. Import from Active Captain (App)
   1. Make sure the Active Captain App has synced with the MFD on the boat and has the most current data.
   2. Select Chart view. Navigate to Menu > User Data > Menu > Export to GPX File
   3. Send to On My Marks App or save file for later use.
4. Import from C-Map/Simrad/Lowrance (App)
   1. Sync Manufacturer’s App with MFD
   2. Under MY DATA, Select Places
   3. Click Menu, Select Export as GPX
   4. Select the Waypoints you would like to share or use the Select All button
   5. Select Export, and Choose On My Marks App or save file for later use
5. Import from other Apps (Navionics, iNavX, etc)
   1. Use the Menu to export the file to GPX
   2. Save to files or share directly to On My Marks app for upload.
6. Import from CSV and Column Mapping
   1. On My Marks has the capability to import CSV files with specified column mapping to identify which columns alight with corresponding fields in GPS software, (latitude, longitude, name, description, etc)
   2. Best Practice – assign column headers to the CSV File prior to import for easier mapping.

                    1. Select the appropriate name for each column in the CSV, and click Save Column Mapping.
