In the universal CSV format, we can use
lat, long, alt, time, date, temp, speed.
Use below for the time and date fields. With the GPSBabel GUI, the UTC offset can also be specified.
ISO8601
To get utc_d and utc_t, use =TEXT(DATE(MID(A1,1,4),MID(A1,6,2),MID(A1,9,2)),"yyyy/mm/dd") and =TEXT(TIME(VALUE(MID(A1,12,2))+2,VALUE(MID(A1,15,2)),VALUE(MID(A1,18,2))), "HH:MM:SS") on a column with iso8601
YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00 AM
=TEXT(E2, "yyyy-mm-dd")
=TEXT(E2, "HH:MM:SS")
