Uploading Excel files containing coordinates to Garmin GPS

[mattytreks]

So, I have a Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx device and along with that came the Garmin MapSource software.

Using the handy ACME Mapper online, I've put together a Microsoft XLS/CSV file with a list of about 100 SanJ points of interest. Each row contains coordinates in the following formats:

--N33 49 31.1 W116 33 1.9
--33.82530, -116.55052
--33 49 31.1; 33 1.9 -116.55052

So my questions are: is there a way I can "import" this Excel file into MapSource and subsequently load this data as Waypoints into my GPS device? If so, how? And do the Excel columns need to be in a certain order and/or have specific column header names?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Googling "csv files to gpx files" included the link below. Looks like it's doable with a program called POIEdit.

Try GPS Babel. I use it all the time to convert between various formats. Works great. I think csv is one of the format options.
