I just capture the garmin logs every few days. I archive them and then
when I return to the same spots, I reload them on the unit so I know
where I have been (And what was once safe water).

The garmin logs can be edited to go into a spreadsheet as well with
minimal effort.

I only know garmin...

Anyone out there know how to make a program like Excel (or whatever)
capture NEMA data from the GPS and put it into a spreadsheet or
database. What I'm trying to do is set up some kind of an auto ship's
log so that when I'm sailing the GPS will create a log for me every 15
min or 30 min or whatever. My old Nobletec nav program had that
capability but I've recently switched to Fugawi and I don't get a log
book from it. My GPS currently imputs info to my laptop and Fugawi, I
just haven't figured out if that info can be captured along the way and
utilized by another program to accomplish what I'm trying to do.
