Add location (GPS) on imported dives from shearwater database file

[Klaus Friis Østergaard]

Using 4.7.8 on windows 7 pro, imported dives from Shearwater desktop application.

Is it possible to add location with GPS coordinates to the dives after import?

I import my dives from the dive computer and then add the coordinates later (maybe 5 mins later, maybe 2 weeks later). Simply click the little globe next to the name of the dive site and you’ll be taken to a page to enter the coordinates and other information (if you wish) about the dive site.

So yes you can add coordinates but not currently as part of the import/download procedure.

An idea I have been playing with for a while now is having phone / GPS+Arduino in waterproof case attached to surface marker float logging position to a kml file. I used to collect similar data on week long island snorkeling exploration trips. For scuba it has advantages for shore diving, drift dives and science based dives where location varies over time and might be useful data.

If it was possible to retrospectively point subsurface to a kml file and to extract GPS data (stored at one second intervals) that matches the timestamp in the log it would add the ability to use Google maps to show approx location with respect to dive profile (+/- current and wind drift on the float).

parsing the kml and matching timestamps is a trivial code issue, and the google maps api is easy and well documented.

Is this something others would find useful?

Thank you!

You should be able to achieve the same result using Subsurface-mobile. Take a look at section 5.4.1 on https://subsurface-divelog.org/documentation/subsurface-4-user-manual/

and section 10 on https://subsurface-divelog.org/documentation/subsurface-mobile-user-manual/ (It still says Android only, but works on iOS as well nowadays)
