Waypoint names are confused

I have an oddity going on -- but it's probably only odd to me! I saved my waypoints from MapSource to a .gpx file, then loaded it into GSAK. The waypoint names show up in the "code" column, and the "Waypoint Name" shows things like 29-Jan-05 9:16:08AM".
Is there a way to square this away???
Thanks,
Earl
What are you attempting to do?

If you want your waypoints (favorites) as a poi file the it is already in a format that poi loader will understand.

Well...
Yes, that's my eventual goal -- I have enough waypoints that I think I should convert them to POI's. I just opened the .gpx in GSAK to see what they looked like, and the names were all mixed up.

GSAK
Does GSAK stand for the software: Geocaching Swiss Army Knife?
When you transfer the .gpx file to your (gps):\Garmin\GPX folder and boot the GPS, what shows up in Favorites?
GSAK
Yes, GSAK stands for Geocaching Swiss Army Knife.
And I haven't tried it yet, I wanted to make sure the formatting was right before I made such a major move.

Why not use EPE
Why not use EPE (extra poi editor) top look at what they are?
GZAK was a very confusing program when I attempted to use it. It was short lived for me.

EPE
Wow, EPE worked just fine! I use GSAK to load Geocaches into my GPSr's, and I'm pretty comfortable with it -- except that the names of waypoints get in the wrong column occasionally. I'll have to drop this for now, I have to head for Durango, Colorado. here's hoping it DOESN'T snow -- I have an appointment back here in Clovis Thursday!

Glad that worked for you.
