gpsbabel - convert and manipulate waypoints, tracks, and routes between formats.
Contents
Description
GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes from one format to another. GPSBabel also downloads and
uploads waypoints, tracks, and routes to and from a GPS receiver (such as those by Garmin and Magellan)
connected by a serial or USB port.
By flattening the Tower of Babel that the authors of various programs for manipulating GPS data have
imposed upon us, it returns to us the ability to freely move our own waypoint data between the programs
and hardware we choose to use.
It contains extensive data manipulation abilities making it a convenient for server-side processing or as
the backend for other tools.
