Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters New Garmin ;export file ?

The new Garmin has the capacity to export a CSV file which I can import , read and print from EXCEL.

The amount of data is limited that it appears to transfer in this file , shot # , speed , deviation is present but any specifics you make as notes , caliber labels even date does not transfer from the app .

Has anyone expanded on the use of this file and printing of hard copies from excel ?

Thanks in advance

The iOS Numbers app appears to be able to export directly as an Excel file. Using an Apple device, you should be able to export the CSV to Numbers and then get that into Excel. I Airdropped the CSV from my phone to my iPad for easier viewing, but just installed the Speedshot app on the tablet so I can dump directly from the Garmin.

Not using Apple? No clue…

Pappy , thanks for reply .

Yes have been able to down load the csv file via my iPhone and email my PC at work so I have access to excel .

I was incorporating my description into the title file in my phone but now making most of that in the “ notes” …. That does transfer and once in excel I can modify .

Was not real familiar with csv files but learning.

The Garmin is a nice unit and being able to manage data on my phone and hard copy is handy.

Did you email the csv or convert to excel first in Numbers? Just curious, as while I have a Windows laptop, it sits idle for the most part as iOS does everything I need these days. Never know though when you’re gonna need to send something to someone using another platform, as I found out while working on my father’s estate.

Yikes! Y'all are talking Greek to my ears! All I want the bloody thing to do is be its charming tiny self and show me how fast my bullet went.

I’m a terrible record keeper; mine mostly consist of the labels I stick on the cartridge boxes along with the loose pile of targets I have. Of late I’ve begun taking pics of those targets with notes scribbled on them. This thing will let me save the data to a spreadsheet, print it and/or save that on my tablet (and in the Cloud from which it can be retrieved later) and I can even attach a pic of my targets to the spreadsheet. Just did that in fact before I wrote this.

Not saying my lazy azz is actually gonna do any of that, but I could…….

What's a spreadsheet? What's a cloud?

Just funnin' ya. I'm a Luddite at heart.

Knew that….

Pappy , I used the function in the app to directly email my pc at the office . I then opened the csv file directly with excel , no conversion.

I am not familiar with numbers on my iPhone , have not used that app.

Your post got me wondering, so I just attempted the same thing. Worked like a champ. Thanks for the info Maine.

I never used Numbers either. Just another spreadsheet but the default format looks good, certainly meets my meager requirements. I’ll futz around with it more after I gather some more data and ponder exactly what I really want displayed.
