Α Κ

hello
as a seaman it would be very useful to include into your system the ability to import files from ecdis system such as RTM,RTA,RTN,RTZ,CSV

If you can export routes in CSV format, you should be able to transform them into GPX files with this converter:

For those who don’t know this electronic chart system, ECDIS are only used on big ships:

Can’t seem to get the converter to work. I exported csv file from ecdis but it is not working to convert to gps and upload into windy. Could you give me a hand?

@Håkon-Stormo
Sorry I can’t because I don’t use ECDIS software. I am not a professional mariner, I never used this navigational chart system.
I had suggested this converter I found on internet to a previous user getting the same issue as you.
I’ll try to find another converter.

@Norman-Vine You are right.
Since last MY ECDIS Route Manager is able to create the route files supported by Windy.com

You have to exports (Save As) any route, opened in ERM yo format KML, then import generated one to the "Windy". The route will be drawn on the map in red color.

Try and keep watching for updates in my TG Group.
