GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes from one format to another,
|
|
|
|
|
whether that format is a common mapping format like Delorme, Streets and
|
|
|
|
|
Trips, or even a serial or USB upload or download to a GPS receiver such as
|
|
|
|
|
those from Garmin and Magellan. 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It does not convert, transfer, send, or manipulate maps. We process data that

|
|
may (or may not be) placed on a map, such as waypoints, tracks, and routes.
