Hi

A good first starting point fro turnpoint importing is this training video
clip made by Paul Remde of Cumulus Soaring

If you want to import from Excel you will need to save the file from Excel
into a *.csv format (comma separated variable) file with the records in the
format as follows.
name,code,country,lat,lon,elev,style,rwdir,rwlen,freq,desc
 <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEGXKVq_jCE>"Cunderdin
Aerodrome",CNDRDNRD,AU,3137.396S,11712.989E,702.1ft,5,50,1850.1ft,"126.700","Start
Point, Finish Point, Turn Point, Aerodrome"

Not all of the fields are required however if omitted then a double ,, must
be used to show an empty field.

"CUNAIR",CUNAIR,,3137.400S,11712.983E,705.0ft,5,0,0.0ft,,

You can save into different file format such as *.dat (Cambridge) this
requires a lot less info in the record however it does want the turnpoint
records numbered.
This is the 41st record in one of my files.
41,31:37.400S,117:12.983E,215M,TAL,CUNAIR,


It can take a bit of fiddling to get it right.
Seeyou will see the file and open it when you ask it to look at All File
types.

Regards,
John Orton
