If the DC data is 2 degrees 30 minutes 15 seconds, you
must input 2.30.15.

0 value in the Curve cell means a straight
line.
If the same value repeats in the curve column or in the grade column, you can omit it. Leave each cell blank. Only a numerical value is allowed except for the station column. |

Distance data must be
in ascending order. After completing the input, you can sort them by clicking the red arrowed list control header [Distance(m)]. |

The track data shown above
are converted from "meter, km/h" to "mile, mph, DC"
and inputted with the track data editor (left).
