A script for Columbus V-900 GPS

Columbus V-900 is so far the GPS that best fit my requirements: it can log, it can take waypoints while logging, and it (can) have a big storage for logging (via TF card). I got one from WC, a friend to give it a try.

It log GPS tracks to CSV format, WC wrote a script to convert it to the GPX format, but without waypoints. So I rewrote a Python script (as I'm not so familiar with perl), to add the waypoints to the GPX file.

Get the script here, it will use the voice record filename as the name of the waypoint if available, or otherwise just "Waypoint #N". You may want to edit the converted GPX file to rename the waypoints.
