-====== How to import CSV/TSV landmark files? ====== 
-\\ 
-The application allows you to import landmarks (waypoints, routes, tracks, areas) from ''**.CSV**'', ''**.TSV**'' and more generally [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delimiter-separated_values|delimiter-separated values]] files and display them on the map: 
-  * Click on the ''"**Landmarks**"'' {{:icon_01.png?nolink}} menu icon and on ''"**Explore landmark**"'' {{:icon_02.png?nolink}}. The default landmark folder is listed; 
-  * Select the folder in which the file to import is located. If needed, click on the top left drawer menu {{:icon_03.png?nolink}} to list the main folders of your device. For example, click on ''"**My downloads**"'' {{:icon_04.png?nolink}} to select the folder ''"**/storage/emulated/0/Download/**"''.

-\\ 
- 
-Once the file to import is displayed {{:icon_05.png?nolink}}, click on it to display the import settings {{:icon_06.png?nolink}}: 
-  * If needed, click on ''"**Folder**"'' to import the file in the current folder instead of the default import folder; 
-  * If needed, click on ''"**Charset**"'' to select the file charset if it's different from the device charset; 
-  * If needed, click on ''"**Landmark**"'' to select the type of landmark to create from the imported locations; 
-  * If needed, click on ''"**Separator**"'' to select the column separator character; 
-  * If needed, click on ''"**Location format**"'' to select the coordinates format of the file; 
-  * If needed, un-check ''"**Headers in first row**"'' {{:icon_07.png?nolink}} if the first line of the file is not used to store headers (column labels); 
-  * For each column, click on the assignment button {{:icon_08.png?nolink}} to select a corresponding type (you must select at least a ''"**Coordinates**"'' column or a ''"**Latitude / Y**"'' and a ''"**Longitude / X**"'' column); 
- 
-{{:icon_help.png?nolink}} Some of the columns may already be assigned since the application tries to detect them from the headers.

- 
-\\ 
- 
-When you've assigned an import type to all the columns you want, click on ''"**Ok**"'' {{:icon_09.png?nolink}} to start the import. In this example, the application will read the location latitudes from the first column, the longitudes from the second one, and the names from the third column. 
- 
-Wait some time for the file to be imported (which depends on the file size). When it's done, you can: 
-  * Select ''"**Browse**"'' {{:icon_10.png?nolink}} to list the content of the imported file, for example to display only few items; 
-  * Select ''"**Display**"'' {{:icon_11.png?nolink}} to display the entire file content on the map.
