Location of log, waypoint, route, track files

I'm upgrading my onboard computer and I'm struggling to locate the data files in O.


I have a file in Documents named "logbook.ods" -- is that all of Konni Logbook data? How do I import that into a new installation on a different computer? Sorry I tried RTFM but couldn't find anything about this.


Likewise have not been able to locate gpx files or whatever format waypoints, tracks, routes are stored in.


I could export everything to GPX I guess, but what is the preferred procedure?


Thanks in advance for guidance, and hoping it will be of benefit to others as well.

These objects are stored in the "navobj.xml" file, found in the OpenCPN private data folder, on Windows "C:/ProgramData/opencpn". The files are fully portable, and may be simply copied to a new installation.


Good Luck

Fantastic, thanks!


The logbook files are there too at C:/ProgramData/OpenCPN/plugins/logbook


Problem solved! Cheers!
