Just move the Excel columns
It's pretty easy to move the Excel columns to the position that you need them. And it's easy to delete entire columns that your GPS doesn't support.
Not all GPS units use the same column layout, so some editing will probably be necessary with any such file before you can import it into your GPS.
Looking over the web site,
Looking over the web site, there is nothing that states the downloadable files are to be used for or with a GPSr. The web master added the edition of having a list of location that the user can use in any form. You can use it as a simple list or edit it to be used with a GPSr if you have the knowledge. The added addition of Latitude and Longitude is a nice bonus.
