Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] Converting CSV to GPX

[Robert L. <rob...@gp...>]

Remove the junk at the top so that the first row is the column description.
Then use the 'unicsv' format instead of 'csv'

Per https://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-development/fmt_csv.html "For general
purpose use, you'll probably be more happy with our universal csv (unicsv)
<https://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-development/fmt_unicsv.html> format."

You're certainly not the first to fall for this. I've considered renaming
that format "delormesa9" and renaming unicsv to csv or something like that,
but that would break existing flows.
