Default Trouble with Cambridge Utility

Hi Wade,

I use SeeYou to generate waypoint files for the 302 often. After I save the
..dat file I use Notepad to add an "H" attribute to the home airport.

I can't explain the error you are seeing. Did you edit the file in Word?
Word could add some hidden characters.

Try using SeeYou or ConnectMe to upload the waypoint file to the 302.

Best Regards,

I attempted to export (file/save as) a group of 75 waypoints chosen in the
See You desktop version for use in a Cambridge 302 (.dat file) The waypoints
in See You were from the original seeyou.cup file that came with the
software when I bought it. When I try to upload the .dat file to the 302
using the cambridge utility, the utility crashes. It works if I drop the
total number of waypoints to 18 and it seems to be any 18 waypoints I
choose.

If I use waypoints from the turnpoint exchange then it works just fine. This
seems like an easy solution but I actually like having the waypoint data
that the seeyou.cup file gives such as airport frequencies etc... that
aren't given in the turnpoint exchange files.

If anyone has run across this and understands what is going on I would
appreciate the help. I am assuming that there is trouble with the format of
the content within the .dat file but I don't know what I should manually
alter it to.

Thanks
Wade
