Creating Custom POI file with addresses for Basecamp?

 
Wed, 12/28/2022 - 2:40pm

I'm trying to create a CSV file (to convert to GPX) so that it shows the address IN the Properties tab on Basecamp. Anything that isn't the name or the GPS coordinates goes to the Notes tab instead. Any suggestions? Appreciate any help I can get smile

spreadsheet tools

assuming lat, long, name, address
put both name and address in one csv field
in whatever spreadsheet manuipulating the csv

add both name and address to a new column,
=concatenate(name," ",address)

'paste_special values' the new column to the name column
delete address column and new column

IF all the names are the same, eg: McDonalds, swap the order of the address and name columns, and basecamp will use address as name
