To convert GPS to various format

I use GPSBabel, a FREE software to convert between various gps formats.

2. Open .csv in excel to do some editing
3. Save as .csv
4. Rename extension .csv to .asc
5. Transfer to GPS HU in Preve

Convert the GPI file format (Garmin format) into ASC with GPSbabel.
Should work nicely with our Bosch HU unit.
Just a sharing of what I found.
