Upon creating a waypoint task or grid task, it is possible to import points from a .txt/.csv file or from QINSY by tapping the insert icon in the bottom left corner. A file explorer window will appear where the file can be selected.

After selecting the correct import file, one can choose the corresponding projection.

Projections

The following projections are currently supported:

• European Terrestria Reference System 1989
• ETRS89 / UTM zone 31N
• ETRS89 / UTM zone 32N
• Belge 1972 / Belgian Lambert 72
• NAD83(NSRS2007) / Alaska zone 4
• OSGB 1936 / British National Grid
• RGF93 / CC47
• RGF93 / CC49
• RGF93 / CC50
• Amersfoort / Rijksdriehoek
• World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84)

Formats

The following describes the supported formats.

Shape file

A shape file is a binary file with .shp as extension.

The shapefile can contain polylines or/and polygons.

Comma separated file

A comma separated file is a text file with .csv as extension and consist of 2 columns.

The first column is always the latitude or the Y value. The second column is always the longitude or the X value.

• All values in the file need to be separated by a comma (,) or by semicolon (;).
• Latitude and longitude are decimal degrees (WGS84).
• Decimals should contain a period as decimal sign.
• The headers are obligated, but not processed. The first line is ignored.

Examples

WGS84

Lambert

Qinsy file

A Qinsy file is a text file exported from the qinsy software suite and has .txt as extension.

• The headers of the file should contain “Latitude1” and “Longitude1”.
• The values of the file should be formatted in Degrees, Minutes and Seconds. Therefore, only GPS WGS84 is supported.
• All values must be separated by a comma
• All lines must be separated by a new line
• The next lines of the file must contain the Latitude1 and Longitude1 values. The format of this values must be: xx;xx;xx.x N, x;xx;xx.x E (ex.: 51;12;05.4 N, 3;11;42.3 E)

Import target

Survey task

Waypoints

All of the values will be used to import waypoints.

Supported file types: shapefile, csv, qinsy

Grid

Only the first 4 values will be used to import as a grid. If the values already subscribe a grid as waypoints, then use a waypoint task to import this file.

Supported file types: shapefile, csv, qinsy

Layer

All of the values will be built to generate a layer.

Supported file types: shapefile, csv
