You don't have to do it with the UIView software; the file is just a text file whose file type is .pos. :-)

Alas, you can't currently import CSV files of APRS Object definitions. However, you can import UIView-format POS files (which are basically text files of APRS Object and/or Item messages, one message per line). A detailed explanation of the POS file format is in the YAAC built-in help files. You can also save any Objects you have created through the YAAC GUI in POS file format as well.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [yaac-users] Import CSV file to make objects
I don't seem to be able to find this anywhere but then again I'm getting old. LOL
I'd like to import a CSV file that includes an object name, description, and lat/lon to YACC and have the items show up as objects on the map.
I looked at the 'Load' menu but didn't see anything that would help, how would I go about doing this?
