[Qgis-user] Import lines from cvs

[Joris Hintjens]

Thanks again for your help, Nicolas.

In my sample, if you look closer, you’ll see that I tried both formats. DMS and decimal degrees. (see the two “LINESTRING”s headers) Both no result.
Maybe the problem is that the comma’s from the cvs conflict with the commas from the nodes separator in WKT?
I also see that you have no East West, North ofSouth markings. So I should convert to neg for West and South?
