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.
