[Qgis-user] How to edit csv file

[Jan Becket]

Beginning user here - just migrated from Delorme X-Map Professionsl on the Windows side to Q-GIS on a Mac. I figured out that I cannot edit my GPX waypoint files in Q-GIS (which I did in X-Map) and so have shifted them to csv format w/ GPS Babel. No problem, except that I need to frequently update and synchronize with waypoints on my iPhone. When I open the attribute file for the csv point layer, the edit function is grayed out. How to make the layer / source file editable within Q-GIS?

A related question - I am using Gaia GPS on the iPhone (w/ a Garmin bluetooth GLO receiver). Is there a better iPhone app out there that might communicate directly w/ Q-GIS and bypass the need to manually update the csv layer?

Thanks!
