Dear all, Which is the more common / preferred format for csv lat,long,name or long,lat,name? and why do you prefer one over the other? (eg. less hassle, less clicks to import csv to common GIS softwares)
If I am to recommend to ordinary people a free conversion utility, which one? (my 2 preferred utility have different csv format) If i use "gpsbabel's" generic (Comma separated values) option (eg. kml to csv conversion)---> gpsbabel -w -i kml -f filename.kml -o csv -F filename.csv csv will be in this order---> lat,long,name If i use another easy-to-use/free/multi-platform "KMLCSV" (from http://choonchernlim.com/kmlcsv/ ) kml to csv conversion will give you---> long,lat,name KMLCSV is very easy to use and allows ordinary people to view the POI's on built-in google maps for quick verification. easy to install, easy to distribute, virtually idiot-proof. GPSBabel is universal, has gui and command line, but has too many option-buttons that can be confusing for ordinary user. or is there a way gpsbabel can convert (kml to csv) or (osm to csv) in long,lat,name csv format? Thanks, Rally
