[OSM-newbies] many km of kong Kong traced- but a problem

[Thomas Wood]

Yes, gpsbabel (.org) should be able to convert this file.
An appropriate command line might be:
gpsbabel -i unicsv -f pathtofile.csv -o gpx -F output.gpx

gpsbabel can apparently detect what each field means intelligently,
see http://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-development/fmt_unicsv.html for
details.
