+roasteroo Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hello all. I was wondering if any of you got gpsbabel to open sd files directly into quakemap. Or at the very least used gpsbabel to change an sd file into a gpx file that can be opened by quakemap. Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 If by sd file you mean a waypoint file that a Magellan GPSr can read, yes: GPSBabel will tranlate between magellan format and gpx. GPSBabel would not open Quakemap for you, but you could probably write a batch file that would tranlate the file and then open it in the program of your choice. Quote Link to comment
+roasteroo Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 GPSBABEL writes a gpx file that quakemap can't read. I dont know why. Quote Link to comment
+alexm Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 GPSBABEL writes a gpx file that quakemap can't read. I dont know why. Send a copy of that GPX file to the folks at quakemap. It's likely that quakemap is expecting some data to be in the GPX that quite simply doesn't exist in the magellan SD format. Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Can other programs read the gpx output you're getting? Quote Link to comment
+quakemap Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 please email the offending file to support@quakemap.com (as attachment) - I will try my best to troubleshoot it. Keep in mind that GPSBabel GUI front-end doesn't put -r switch in command line, so routes are not converted. Use DOS prompt to use GPSBabel fully. Happy trails Quote Link to comment
