Import CSV file to make objects


 

I don't seem to be able to find this anywhere but then again I'm getting old. LOL
I'd like to import a CSV file that includes an object name, description, and lat/lon to YACC and have the items show up as objects on the map.
I looked at the 'Load' menu but didn't see anything that would help, how would I go about doing this?


 

Alas, you can't currently import CSV files of APRS Object definitions. However, you can import UIView-format POS files (which are basically text files of APRS Object and/or Item messages, one message per line). A detailed explanation of the POS file format is in the YAAC built-in help files. You can also save any Objects you have created through the YAAC GUI in POS file format as well.

Hope this helps.

You don't have to do it with the UIView software; the file is just a text file whose file type is .pos. :-)

Once you have imported a POS file is there a way to un-import it too?? I have'nt found a way other than closing YAAC and restarting, or deleting each object individually.

You can delete the entire contents of some tables. For example, if you open the View->Local Objects table, you can choose File->Clear Table to delete every local Object.

But there's nothing in-between to delete some but not all local Objects.
