CSV with coordinates
CSV is a table format rather than a native spatial format, but it is one of the most common ways to exchange address lists, survey points and sensor readings with coordinate columns.
- Best used for
- Simple point lists and measurements exported from spreadsheets, databases or instruments and destined for a map or GIS.
- GeoVerto support
- GeoVerto reads coordinate columns or a WKT geometry column from CSV and can write tabular output in general conversion workflows.
How geometry is represented
A header names the fields and each following row represents one feature. Geometry can use separate longitude/latitude or easting/northing columns, or a single WKT value such as POINT (13.405 52.52).
Delimiters and decimal marks
GeoVerto recognises common comma-delimited files with decimal points as well as semicolon-delimited spreadsheet exports that use decimal commas. A consistent header and row structure still matters.
CRS and limits
- CSV does not store a coordinate reference system, so the source CRS must be supplied explicitly.
- Separate coordinate columns are best suited to points; lines and polygons need WKT.
- CSV has no standard spatial schema, index, styling or portable data-type rules.
Supported conversions
Convert from CSV
- Convert CSV to KML — Put survey points, asset lists or any coordinate table onto Google Earth without copying rows into placemarks by hand.
- Convert CSV to GeoJSON — Create a browser-ready FeatureCollection from a flat table while retaining the non-spatial columns as feature properties.
- Convert CSV to Shapefile — Build a traditional GIS dataset from survey exports, asset registers or other coordinate-bearing tables.
Convert to CSV
- Convert KML to CSV — Extract Google Earth point data into a straightforward table for filtering, reporting and spreadsheet work.
- Convert Shapefile to CSV — Move a Shapefile's attribute table into spreadsheet software while keeping point locations usable as coordinate columns.
- Convert GeoJSON to CSV — Flatten feature properties into a table that can be opened in Excel, LibreOffice or a data-analysis workflow.
- Convert KMZ to CSV — Turn the useful tabular part of a Google Earth KMZ into rows and columns without manually unpacking the archive.
- Convert GPX to CSV — Extract named locations from a GPX file into a table for lists, reporting or further processing.
