Re: Recorder 3 to MapMate
Has anyone been doing this and if so HELP. Well I've started the process by looking at a small dataset and see that there are problems most notably the one of dates. Formatting of dates is different and if I don't have to write routines to convert dates then that'll be great. So if you happen to have done this I'd be most grateful for any code you may have written.
I also wonder what people do with sex.stage and abundance to fit into the mapmate equivalents.
I've noticed that the suggested import format does not include 'reference' but assume that it will accept it. This would seem useful as one can specify the R3 source as the reference.
So all you who have done this or attempted it please let me know how things went and how you might be able to stop me reinventing....
