Unicsv examines the first line of a file to determine the field order and field separator in that file. It is thus read-only format.
If the first line contains any tabs, the data lines are assumed to be tab separated. Otherwise the fields are assumed to be separated by commas.
The list of keywords include:
alt = Altitude bng_e = British National Grid's easting bng = full coordinate in BNG format (zone easting northing) bng_pos = full coordinate in BNG format (zone easting northing) bng_n = British National Grid's northing bng_z = British National Grid's zone caden = Cadence comment = Notes cour = Heading / Course true date = Date (yyyy/mm/dd) depth = Depth desc = Description ele = Altitude (elevation) fix = 3d, 2d, etc. geschw = Geschwindigkeit (speed) hdop = Horizontal precision head = Heading / Course true heart = Heartrate icon = Symbol (icon) name lat = Latitude lon = Longitude name = Waypoint name ("Shortname") notes = Notes pdop = Precision summary (horizontal & vertical) prox = Proximity sat = Number of sats used for fix speed = Speed symb = Symbol (icon) name tempf = Temperature (degrees Fahrenheit) temp = Temperature (degrees Celsius) time = Time (hh:mm:ss[.msec]) url = URL utc_d = UTC date utc_t = UTC time utm_c = UTM zone character utm_e = UTM easting utm = full coordinate in UTM format (zone zone-ch easting northing) utm_pos = full coordinate in UTM format (zone zone-ch easting northing) utm_n = UTM northing utm_z = UTM zone vdop = Vertical precision x = Longitude x_pos = Longitude y = Latitude y_pos = Latitude z = Altitude (elevation)
We support some enhanced Garmin attributes. They are also available in gpx, gdb, garmin_gpi and partly garmin_txt. These entities are currently not visible in MapSource™ (6.12.4), but are NOT dropped when working with GDB (version 3) or GPX files.
Please note, that these do NOT provide a geocoding service; don't expect to "convert" a street address to a latitude and longitude.
addr = Street address city = City country = Country faci = Facility (not available in GPX) phone = Phone number post = Postal code state = State
Fuller spellings (i.e. "longitude") may be used. You can also use keywords with a whitespace instead of an underscore.
A typical file may be:
Name, Latitude, Longitude, Description GCEBB,35.972033,-87.134700,Mountain Bike Heaven by susy1313 GC1A37,36.090683,-86.679550,The Troll by a182pilot & Family
On the output side unicsv writes fixed number of columns (waypoint index, latitude and longitude) followed by a variable column list depending on internal data.
With at least ONE valid timestamp in data a unicsv output may look like that:
No,Name,Latitude,Longitude,Description,Date,Time 1,"GCEBB",35.972033,-87.134700,"Mountain Bike Heaven by susy1313",2003/06/29,09:00:00 2,"GC1A37",36.090683,-86.679550,"The Troll by a182pilot & Family",,
GPS datum (def. WGS 84).
This option specifies the datum to be used on output. Valid values for this option are listed in Appendix A, Supported Datums.
Write position using this grid..
This value specifies the grid to be used on write. It is similar to the grid option of garmin_txt (see Table 3.1, “Grid values for garmin_txt”). The only difference is that unicsv does not write a degree sign (°) into the output file.
Without this option unicsv writes the coordinates as simple numbers like in the samples above.
