[QUOTE="davsgold, post: 644956, member: 6570"] G'day AngerManagment, this is how I do what your talking about. I got the idea from Detector Prospector forum a few years ago Steve Hershbak started playing around with it and it does work, and I can export the data to Google Earth Hi Guys, since reporting my finds accuratly to the authorities and kepping track of my finds is quite important to me, I figured out a way to export the data from Xchange2 to your PC. If youre intrested (It's pretty easy) here is what to do: 1) Get the freeware tool SQLite Database Browser ([URL]http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/[/URL]) 2) Make the Appdata Folder in your Users Directory visible (C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME) and go into Folder Options and make hidden directories visible 3) Navigate to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\XChange2 4) Copy the file "mldata" to your desktop (or any other non write protected directory) 5) Open "mldata" in SQLite Data Browser Your findpoints are stored in the table "findpoint" (Also other settings like e.g. geohunts are stored in separate tables). From here you can export to SQL or CSV File (Excel). You can even edit all entries directly with the tool. But make sure youre working on the copy and not the original, since you can also mess it up :-D. Hope that is useful for you. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Enjoy Addition: I have heard often that some of you want .kml format for hunts and findpoints. Thats also achievable by reducing the exported excel table to the findpoints (inc. coordinates of course) and then use a freeware tool like [URL]http://www.earthpoint.us/ExcelToKml.aspx[/URL] to convert these points into kml format.
