Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] Trouble converting waypoints

[Mat <ma...@mj...>]

Hi Jeremy,
  It looks like your xls file has all the waypoints data in one column. 
Its not a valid csv.

I copied your data and saved it as waypoints.csv. attached is the input 
and output with the following messages:

gpsbabel -t -i csv -f C:/Users/menm/Dropbox/test data/waypoints.csv -o 
gpx -F C:/Users/menm/Dropbox/test data/waypoints.gpx
XCSV attempt to read C:/Users/menm/Dropbox/test data/waypoints.csv as a 
track or route, but this format only supports waypoints on read.  
Reading as waypoints instead.

Translation successful

Does this help?
