There are a billion variants of Comma Separated Value data. This is the one that makes Delorme S&A Deluxe 9™ happy. It's also a very simple program and useful for many other programs like spreadsheets.

CSV is also the correct format for Lowrance MapCreate™, their commercial mapping program, or GDM6 (their free waypoint manager) for iFinder which is available at lowrance.com
