CSV is a file type.  Comma Separated Values....   The data stored in the file is separated by a comma when you look at the file....Usually used with Excel file but others have the decode ability....  Chuck

date,name,number,gps,depth.  To kind of give you an idea.  The values in the file can be anything..

import to Excel and then look at the values....  If they are there on the excel then it is a map program problem...

Not real sure but the depth may be in USA feet...  Do you have that option in the program of setting the chart to feet.

All my settings are in feet when creating maps

Humminbird PC use centimeter and convertir on the fly when we see them on the grid to feet

autochart pc also use centimeter like all fishfinder from humminbird unit does

I try to use CSV with feet values and centimeters but none display correctly during importation.  the new helpd guide is not complete and need more details from this topic
