Garmin CSV file format
 

Garmin CSV files store location data for custom points of interest (POIs). The format has several variations, but all files use the same basic structure, with 3 or 4 columns of data separated by commas.

CSV files can be created with Notepad on a PC or TextEdit on a Mac.

Simple 3 Column CSV Files

The simplest files have one row of data for each location, with 3 values in each row: longitude, latitude, name

Here's an example with 2 locations:

-123.12345,34.98765,"Amy's House"
-123.12332,34.98622,"Gary's Garage"

Things to notice in this example:

    use decimal degrees for coordinates (not degrees, minutes, seconds)
    always start each location on a new line
    beginners often accidentally switch the coordinate order (longitude must be first)
