How can I get GPS Visualizer to give me the results as longitude/latitude instead of latitude/longitude?
It makes for extra work to copy and paste the results having to move the lat/long around.

‹ Will Open Office.org work with Garmin POI Loader How do GPS mfrs compile their POI databases? ›

.

Nope.

But if you paste the information into Excel, you should be able to move the entire column fairly easily.

I recently added a 'POI Verifier' option to swap the longitude and latitude, just for this reason. Don't need Excel ... just check 'Swap Longitude and Latitude Coordinates' and it will create a file
[your file name]_S.csv

Or GeePeeEx Editor ;-)

Add a set of 'headers' to tell GeePeeEx Editor what each column represents and it will treat them accordingly. The same header can also be repeated to concatenate 'columns'.

GPS Visualizer

I agree with Phil. If you input a cvs file into GPS Visualizer (http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map?form=googleearth), it requires that the first line be a column header. The order can be anything you choose and the kml file is generated accordingly.
