[Qgis-user] How to edit csv file

[Paulo van Breugel]

To follow up on the below, I tried it out and it works like a charm. 
Install the tool, and there will be a few new tools on your toolbar.

Use the 'GPS tools' button which will open a menu which allows you to 
open GPX files or to get it directly from your GPX (not sure that works 
for iPhone). Opening the GPX file this way will allow you to edit, save 
and export the GPX file.

You can also create new GPX files and you have the option to connect to 
your GPS device, but I am not sure if / how that works with iPhone.

Cheers,

Paulo
