Can anyone help me import a CSV such as found on this site into Garmin's Mapsource program? I want to load the CSV and view/edit the data in Mapsource.

Thanks

Paul

CVS to GPX

You could try the program GPX to POI.

It will convert GPX to CVS or CVS to GPX.

Then take the GPX file into Mapsource.

See:

.

POI Edit is an excellent program for converting between formats.

http://www.poiedit.com/

You can convert the CSV to a GPX and then open it in MapSource.

Thanks for the suggestions!`

I didn't have luck with the poiedit program, but the GPX to CSV did the trick. THanks to both of you for your kind and speedy replies.
