Dear Maintainer,

When converting unicsv file to compegps format with the following command:

gpsbabel -i unicsv -f toto.csv -o compegps -F toto.wpt

With an unicsv file beginning with the line:

Name,Desc,Alt,utm_e,utm_n,utm_z,utf-8

The ouptut file has the 'Name' strings converted to another enconding but
not the 'Desc' strings.

However it is not necessary to do a convertion if you add the following
fist line:

B  UTF-8

in the output file.

BR.
