http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/gpsbabel/</a><br>I found out (by trial & error) that CSv files are read well if the have<br>the following attributes:<br>* use comma ( , ) as separator<br>* if the fields have text with comma wrap it in "": "Singapur, Asia"
<br><br>If exporting from Office I found the OpenOffice Calc export dialog to<br>better that Excel: it allows to specify the charset which is useful for<br>non-english texts.<br><br>Kind regards,<br>Timmie<br>_______________________________________________
