Sorry, you're right. here is the fix.

I wrote a program that converts netstumbler summary files into tab delimited files for importing with mappoint.

part of the script is that it breaks apart the channel bits into comma separated channels. i.e. 0440 becomes 6,10.

but the problem is when i import it into mappoint, everything works fine except the channel column.

ANY data in the channel column with a comma gets replaced with "", while anything without it works fine.

I tried copying/pasting the data into an excel spreadsheet and then importing that into mappoint and it worked like a charm.

has anyone else noticed this bug? any workarounds?
