Hi Robert!

A snippet is attached. I can easily remove all the entries with NULL lat/long.

My source was the REEF.org organization (I volunteer for them and do fish surveys), and unfortunately I'm not allowed the share the data- I suspect it may have been gathered with the help of boat captains who don't like to give up the locations.  I will ask them again if they would consider sharing the data with the community, as its the most comprehensive pile of dive sites I'm aware of.

So right now unlikely others would use this data-- although a general utility to import sites from files like this (I also have sites and drop points stored in my garmin descent I could export to gpx files and import as site) I think would have utility to many.

regards,

Matt

I've received a list of local shore dive sites with their lat/long for the drop point. Has anyone worked out a way to script adding these sites to Subsurface en masse?  Like using register_site() and feeding it contents of a csv file, so it can create the uid / file in 01-Divesites?

I'd really love to figure out how to do this.

if you send me an example of your CSV, I might be able to cobble up something. What is your source of data, is it likely that more people are going to use this in the future? In that case I might add something to https://thetheoreticaldiver.org/rch-cgi-bin/smtk2ssrf.pl
