Operation
The initial program came about as I had a large waypoint file on the PC
and no easy way of using this file with SoB v6.
There are many GPS units on the market that can interface with a PC
and enable the user to download and upload waypoints and routes.
Each manufacturer has decided on their own means of achieving this,
however many resultant files are similar.
This program attemps to convert the downloaded waypoint file into a
format usable by SoB.
First, a backup is made of the current waypoint file SOB\Waypoints\default.wpt
As the GPS waypoint file is imported, the names are checked against pre-exisiting
names in the default file. If one is found, *** is appended to the name.
Editing the name or deleting the waypoint is possible.
Lastly the converted waypoints are appended to the SoB default file.

Installation Notes
SoB installs itself in an unconventional manner.
Likewise Waypoint Importer must be placed in the SOB\WAYPOINTS directory.
Waypoint Importer expects to see the default waypoint file in this directory.
without this file Waypoint Importer will not run.

Support
If your file does not import, an attempt will be made to successfully alter the program to suit.
