[gdal-dev] ogrinfo Unable to identify source geometry field with GDAL 3.7 but not 3.3?

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

I can confirm the error with GDAL 3.7.0. But because you have both .csv and .csvt it I wonder if there is any need to use .vrt. Output from "ogrinfo nz-addresses.csv" looks correct to me.

As attached. I've removed some bulky documentation from the as-downloaded/supplied zip file.
