<div dir="ltr">I also used lat-long ever since. My GPS devices displays them in that order, downloads them in that order too. my android GPS apps (GPS Essentials, One Touch Location, etc) displays them in that order too.<br>

<br></div>GPSBabel is universal, has gui and command line, but has too many option-buttons that can be confusing for ordinary user.<br></div><br>or is there a way gpsbabel can convert (kml to csv) or (osm to csv) in long,lat,name csv format?<br>
