[BaseCamp] Waypoint Properties Box cells for city, state, street etc...

[saddle sore]

Stephen, Jerry

Thanks for the replies.  I have been out all weekend, away from a computer
(ah, so nice to be 'unplugged').

I started looking into the reverse engineering of a database per Stephen's
idea.  For an exported BC gpx file which contains things like city, state,
street, the internal metadata is much different from one that does not
contain the info.  For example, here is what it looks like if I export a
file that has known street, city, state info in the BC properties box.

   <wpt lat="45.552476970478892" lon="-122.9097049869597">

        <gpxx:DisplayMode>SymbolAndName</gpxx:DisplayMode>

        <gpxx:Address>

          <gpxx:StreetAddress>4499 NW 229th Ave.</gpxx:StreetAddress>

          <gpxx:City>Hillsboro</gpxx:City>

          <gpxx:State>OR</gpxx:State>

        </gpxx:Address>

      </gpxx:WaypointExtension>

      <wptx1:WaypointExtension>

        <wptx1:DisplayMode>SymbolAndName</wptx1:DisplayMode>

        <wptx1:Address>

          <wptx1:StreetAddress>4499 NW 229th Ave.</wptx1:StreetAddress>

          <wptx1:City>Hillsboro</wptx1:City>

          <wptx1:State>OR</wptx1:State>

        </wptx1:Address>

      </wptx1:WaypointExtension>

      <ctx:CreationTimeExtension>

      </ctx:CreationTimeExtension>

    </extensions>
  </wpt>

But one waypoint from a file which I converted from Excel to GPX using
GPSVisualizer (and then exported it back out of BC so I could view the
metadata) looks like this

  <wpt lat="37.530850041657686" lon="-85.735950004309416">

    <time>2018-12-04T22:02:41Z</time>

    <cmt>N37° 31.851' W85° 44.157'</cmt>

    <desc>N37° 31.851' W85° 44.157'</desc>

    <sym>Flag, Green</sym>

    <type>user</type>

    <extensions>

      <gpxx:WaypointExtension>

        <gpxx:DisplayMode>SymbolAndName</gpxx:DisplayMode>

      </gpxx:WaypointExtension>

      <wptx1:WaypointExtension>

        <wptx1:DisplayMode>SymbolAndName</wptx1:DisplayMode>

      </wptx1:WaypointExtension>

      <ctx:CreationTimeExtension>

        <ctx:CreationTime>2018-12-04T22:02:41Z</ctx:CreationTime>

      </ctx:CreationTimeExtension>

    </extensions>

  </wpt>

If it is up to me to alter or actually write code so that example 2 becomes
as detailed as example 1, well,  my code writing days ended decades ago --
about the time that the IBM punch card went the way of the Dodo Bird.  So,
Jerry, I will look into GPSBabel (I have used it before but didn't feel it
was as user friendly as GPSVisualizer) to see what it does with a file.
And, I am tracking down the person that created the file I have which
contained example 1 above.  So thank you for your time and advice.  I
appreciate the help and direction.
