Importing User Waypoints into G3X

[DC_Brasil]

Hello everyone. 

Here in Brazil, in some more congested airspaces, we have some VFR corridors with many visual reference points, many of which are compulsory reporting points in an advisory frequency or with ATC. I have made those fixes as user waypoints with Garmin Pilot and wanted to import them to the G3X.

I followed the guidance of Garmin Pilot: at the user waypoint page, I clicked on export and saved the CSV file it created into the G3X database SD card.

However, when I put it in the G3X, and go to the user waypoint page, click MENU, it shows all options EXCEPT "Import". Import appears as a "faded" inactive option. 

Any tips?

The import button is probably greyed out because the G3X doesn’t recognize the csv file. According to the G3X pilot’s guide, the import file needs to be a GPX file. 

EDIT: If Garmin Pilot will not export in GPX format, I believe there are online csv to gpx converters.

I must have missed that detail about the file format. Thanks!

Will try that and come back with a feedback.
