About CSV

Comma-Separated Values (CSV) files store tabular data with coordinate columns (latitude/longitude or WKT geometry). A simple, universal format supported by virtually all data tools.

Extensions: .csv
Software: Excel, Google Sheets, QGIS, Python/Pandas, R
Limitations: No built-in geometry type — requires coordinate columns. No CRS metadata. No support for complex geometries without WKT.

Extensions: .tab, .dat, .map, .id
Software: MapInfo Pro, QGIS, ArcGIS, Global Mapper, GDAL/OGR
Limitations: Proprietary format. Multiple component files required. Less interoperable than open formats.
