Hi Jeremy, as far as I can remember, the CRS of waypoints is by default EPSG 4326, no matter what you change in the settings of the device (changes just alter display of coordinates on the device). But I haven't touched a garmin for ages (yuk!) and do the stuff with my phone.
Your garmin seems to be a rather old model, cause with garmins from the last 10 years or so, there was no need to use GPSbable to import the data, but they just create gpx themselves. It is quite uncommon to produce gpx files with other CRS than EPSG:4326, so better import it into QGIS and reproject it to a new non-gpx file format with the CRS of choice. Hope that helps Bernd On 05.03.21 06:02, jeremy benwell wrote:
Hi, I was wondering if GPX files contain CRS information? I saved some waypoints in my garmin gps and then used GPSBabel to upload those waypoints to my computer and create a GPX file. The map datum on my gps was set to GDA 94. Does my GPX file contain the CRS that my GPS was set to when I saved the waypoints (i.e. GDA 94) and if so do I need to make sure my QGIS project CRS is set to GDA 94 also? Any help would be much appreciated thank you!
