Hi all,

I think that the field is not correctly recognized by gpsbabel, the
script make only textual manipulation on his output... 
It can be that gpsbabel download the column with a different tag from
the other garmin gps, and this tag is not included in csv stylesheet...
If the problem is only on one gps receiver model, I think it his hard to
fix (we had to download a meaningless column for all others gps
receivers), but if it is common problem, we had to fix it.

Leonardo, please try watching on temporary files to see if I'm right.

PS Please report if it happens on other receivers...
