+bobbarley Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) I can convert a csv to garmin gdb file no problem but it leaves off waypoints with the same name but different coordinates. In other words I cant convert two waypoints labeled "tree" even if they are at different locations. Any solutions? Also using the GUI, is there a setting or option to bring more that Lat, Long and Waypoint name in the csv file to a garmin usable format? I would like to have Lat, Long, name and comments. I am nowhere computer literate enough to understand the scripting process. Thanks for any help Edited July 20, 2007 by bobbarley Quote

I think you will need to edit the CSV file to add discriminators to the waypoint names "tree1", "tree2", and so on. Quote
robertlipe Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 For most formats that require unique names (and GDB is one such where it's true) GPSBabel will rename dupes as needed. I just tested GDB output with 5 waypoints all named "Spartacus" ; the resulting GDB file had Spartacus, Spartacus.1, Spartacus.2, etc. Quote
