Convert .csv to .yml Overview

convert_csv_yml.py converts a coordinate file in .csv format into a Greensea .yml mission file.

It is designed to be as easy to use as possible:

• You configure the program to match your requirements, rather than the program forcing you to modify all of your .csv data files
• Values for any data element can be assigned as a default
• The column order can be user defined
• Unused columns can be ignored by the program so you don't have to delete them from your data
• The Lat/Lon Degrees format is flexible (DD, DDM, DMS; use +/- or N/S; use "," "'" and """ or not)

The program can run on Ubuntu on the Control Console or on Windows on a PC / Laptop.

Before converting your .csv file, you will likely need to set up the defaults to match your data requirements. This manual will explain how to do that.
