Spot Log Import

Spotlog Import

The SpotLog app can import data in XML format.  Data sources include:

• The datasets online http://www.rail3d.info/other/locolist/locolist.aspx (this is usually best achieved through the Datasets dialog of the application, see Getting Started)
• Data backups exported from the app using the Backup command
• Data from the PC PhotoLogger application
• Other data sources (see below)
