Converting Memory-Map GPX files for GPSWatch

Memory-map (http://www.memory-map.co.uk) can export GPX waypoint files which can be imported by GPSWatch. Unfortunately there are some incompatibilities so the GPX file needs to be edited before importing into GPSWatch.

Here's how to do it.

1. Save route as GPX file in Memory-Map by right-clicking on route, "Save As".
2. Open the saved file in a text editor.
3. Find and replace "RTEPT" with "WPT" throughout (without double quotes).
4. Find and replace "" with "Dot" throughout (without double quotes).
5. Find and remove and .
6. Save the file
7. Copy the file to your mobile phone as described in the GPSWatch User manual.

4. Find and replace "" with
