redbeard

I came across some data in this format - HYD93

http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/dat/geodas/docs/hyd93.htm

Sample dataset found here

There's some other formats scattered around those pages.

This page has some generic multibeam format.

It seems most of them are ASCII based. So I probably could get it to work if I tried.

Mostly just letting you be aware of this.

I've added it to our todo list (internal item 10830), but looking at the sample you could just load with File->Open Generic ASCII Text File, specify to skip 1 field, then specify a point offset/scale and have a scale of 0.000001 for both X and Y to convert from millionths of degrees to degrees.
