## Alan Map500 waypoints and routes (.wpr) (alanwpr)

This format can...

- read and write waypoints

- read and write routes

GPSBabel supports .wpr and .trl files for Alan Map500 devices running operating system versions 2.xx.

.wpr files contain waypoints and routes. If you use a CF-Card based operating system, waypoint files must have a `.WPR` extension when copied to the CF-Card. The default filename is `TEMPWPRT.WPR`. Only one `.WPR` file may be present.

Alan's operating system 3.0 for Map500 is not supported yet. At the time of this writing, OS3 is still beta. Documentation on the new dataformats is sparse.

The Alan Map500 handheld GPSr is identical to the Holux GM101. This GPSBabel module has only been tested against the Alan Map500. Still, if you use a GM101, GPSBabel will probably be able to convert your waypoints, routes and tracklogs.

For more information on the Alan Map500 visit Alan Germany. There is very informative forum, too. Forum language is German but posts in English will be answered, too.
