Howdy,
I've been looking for a way (preferably a cmd line method) of
converting an Excel or csv text file containing waypoint data
(latitude, longitude, name, description) into a gpx file.
There are plenty of programs that will save mappoints as gpx files, or
convert gpx files to Excel, etc, but I haven't found one yet that will
convert an Excel or a csv file into gpx.
I've got a series of local points of interest saved in the Excel file,
and I'd like to be able to export them into a gpx file and forward that
to some others.
Can anyone here point me in the right direction?
Many thanks,
Allen

I use the g7toWIN program to do that, but it's not cmd line.
It'll read/write both .csv and .gpx text files so you can convert
between the two.

GeoConv can be used to convert csv-files to gpx and GeoConv is cmd-line
based
GeoConv: http://www.kolumbus.fi/eino.uikkanen/geoconvgb/index.htm
Is you decide to use GeoConv and need any help in setting up or using it,
please don't hesitate to contact me for help. You find my preferred e-mail

It looks very interesting but does it require Windoze? I run eCS 1.2R.

Unfortunately I am not familiar with Windoze or eCS 1.2R, but ...
GeoConv can be run under Window's command prompt as is (without e.g.
Windoze) without any problems, but I am afraid, that you might encounter
some problems, if you run GeoConv under some kind of Windows emulators or
similar. That is because GeoConv uses very deep OS-calls.
I have started the implementation of the new Java-based GeoConv, but that
seems to be a never ending project - I haven't touched the code for several
months - maybe when I retire ;-)
