Deleting Duplicate Waypoints

[barryp]

Does anyone know an easy way of deleting duplicate overlay waypoints?

I imported the updated Walking World database of walks and now I seem to have two waypoints for every walk which is slowing down the loading of the overlay properties screen somewhat.

I don't really fancy manually deleting over 2000 waypoints, at least not through the overlay properties sceen which is really slow and painful to navigate...

You could try exporting the WPs as a CSV file, the routes as RXF and tracks as TXF. Load the CSV file into Excel and remove the unwanted points.

Then in mm use Overlay>delete all. Then import each of the files - modified CSV file, unmodified RXF and unmodified TXF.

Beware though, I think that exporting RXF files and importing them again will truncate your route names to eight characters - if I remember correctly

Hi TC,

Thanks for the reply, luckily I actually found another way to sort out the Walking World waypoints. Luckily they have them grouped into their own categories, like "moderate walk", "mountain climb" etc (wish I could do this for my routes :-().

So luckily I can "show all" and then hide just the walking world categories and "Delete Hidden" and then re import the walking world overlays again and the duplicates have gone :D

Did not spot the Delete Hidden option before today
