I'm testing how to do it and I had a few problems.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>A remote controlled boat collects the data by a GPS (location and depth). At my office, I take the SDCard from the boat and the file is a text format. The information on the file is like this:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>$GPRMC,174859.000,A,4505.1729,N,06420.5123,W,1.75,28.53,080513,,,A*46</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>$SDDBT,6.6,f,2.0,M,1.1,F*04</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I tried to use 2 programs to import the data - Undersee Explorer and ArcMap but none of them were able to recognize this format (.txt). I also tried GPSBabel to convert but it didn't work.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I need a file in sonar log (.slg or .sl2). I'm pretty sure that is not a hard issue, but I can't figure it out - I've never done this before.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Any suggestion will be welcome!</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Thank you!!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 10 May 2013 16:42:10 GMT Maria_IzabelManes 2013-05-10T16:42:10Z bathymetric map https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/bathymetric-map/m-p/674286#M2376 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello!</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I'm in a project where I'm supposed to make a bathymetric map of a flooded crater.

I could certainly help if you didn't. Your best bet is to export a SLG or SL2 file.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:42:52 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/bathymetric-map/m-p/674287#M2377 EricWienckowski 2013-09-18T11:42:52Z
