Calvin, Etienne, Raymond,

Thank you all three for your answers.

I tested the suggestions with my limited knowledge of QGIS and could use it very well. I can pursue my task now.

For the records: The suggestions from Raymond worked all very well; Etiennes idea with the virtual field is an excellent idea for ongoing work, unfortunately the calculation example did not work for me -- but it is OK with the more basic solution. Finally, the lat-lon plugin as well as the POI Exporter seem to work seemlessly. I have now to learn about all the power of these plugins.

Thanks again,
Maria

Maria,

You can certainly do it with the field calculator, but I wanted an easier way. I programmed this capability into the Lat Lon Tools <http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/latlontools/>plugin. The specific function is "Geometry to field". You can access it from "Plugins->Lat Lon Tools->Conversions->Geometry to field" or from the processing toolbox under Lat Lon tools.

There is a lot of functionality with this. You can export the the points to either a single field in the attributes table with a separator or to two fields. You can specify the output CRS. You can also choose between Decimal degrees, DMS coordinates, GeoJSON, WKT, MGRS, and Plus Codes.

As far as getting it onto your Garmin device try the POI Exporter <http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/poiexport/>plugin which is another plugin I wrote. Look at the documentation. It will export your data in GPX format and you can use Garmin Basecamp or the Garmin POI Loader to get it onto your device.

    Hi,

    I have been watching YouTube and reading tutorials the whole
    afternoon, but I do not get this simple task done:

    I have a map with several layers in EPSG:2444. Now I create
    another vector layer with points, which represents points that I
    have to go myself and check for several features. I will go there
    with my Garmin Etrex 10 GPS.

    So, I would like to

    - add the coordinates of the certain points into the attribute
    table to print out the table later.
    - create a file with the coordinates in order to import it into
    the GPS device and walk along all points.

    My question:

    1. How do I get readable (GPS) coordinates into the attribute
    table (automatically, with field calculator or so)?
    2. Can I export a GPX file or so from these coordinates to import
    into a Garmin device (if so, how?)


    It seems so basic, but I do not succeed.

    Best,
    Maria
