CSV and GPX FIle Content and Format

 
Sun, 11/21/2010 - 10:59am

I am getting better with using CSV files to load custom POI, but I want to make sure I am using all of this capability.

Given that, what is the schema, format, structure, etc. requirements of a CSV file so I can take advantage of all the capabilities of the GPS? Presently, I am using a Garmin GPSMAP60CSx.

Can the file be used to affect proximity alarms, speed alarms, etc. If so, how? What else?

Right now, the POI files I use only indicate waypoint locations.

Thanks
