hi 
i wrote a lisp program to extract all my tracks from a Garmin GPS (Edge 305) which was relatively easy. 
i want to plot them in autocad to have a copy of all my routes riden on my bike or driven in my car.
what i need is a program to convert all these points into coordinates using the local Coord system (in my case MGA55, australia)

this is the file format of my data file

point_no,latitude.longitude,zone
PM1,-36.036577,146.374141,54

i know i can go online and do individual points to get the coords but i want to automate it to create another data file of coordinates

any thoughts would be appreciated

thanks
cadcent

You can try the modified ASCPOINT (see Download) with the option modes GPS and Coord1st. You will need to set the WGS84 coordinate system first.

Selecting the GPS coordinates from the right click menu will copy them to your clipboard. They will have way too many digits, experiment with trimming them until they are shorter but still precise enough for you.
