+quakemap Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 A new fully functional Windows Frontend to GPSBabel is posted here. It requires .NET Framework (which you are likely to have on your XP computer anyway). Provides complete access to all functions (file format options, filters etc.) of GPSBabel without typing on the command prompt. Installer includes the latest version of GPSBabel, but you can point the Wrapper to your own copy. The Wrapper will use QuakeMap as a mapping engine, if it is installed, but is fully functional without it. The best of all, GPSBabelWrapper is FREE, no trial periods, no strings attached. Thousand thanks to everybody who provided help, testing and advice; special thanks to GPSBabel author Robert Lipe and all contributors to GPSBabel project for their program. Enjoy!

+Jamie Z Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Robert, Could you chime in on this to let us know if you support this work? If this is RL-approved, I'm going to give it a try. Jamie Quote Link to comment
robertlipe Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I "support" it in the sense that it sounds like a good idea, the implementation seems reasonable, and conversations with the author make me think he's clueful. :-) I didn't actually participate in the development of this wrapper. I haven't actually used the program in question. I've been meaning to, but have had such unreasonable access to a Windows system lately that I've been unable to check it out. P.S. 'snlen' and 'suppresswhite' on the example screen makes for a pretty picture, but those are output options, not input options. :-) Quote Link to comment
+quakemap Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hi All, I wanted to hear user feedback before publishing the next version of GPSBabelWrapper; please provide your comments/suggestions/bugreports here or email to slg@quakemap.com Quote Link to comment
+quakemap Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 The new version is out here -- now includes GPSBabel 1.2.7 and handles memorized filter options in a more friendly way. 100% free, no strings attached. Quote Link to comment
+papatom2 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 A GUI would be nice, if it were written in another langauge. To use this program I have to add 24Meg of overhead to my computer with another MicroBlott product - which I don't know what it does or how it will mess up my system. The GUI looks nice - just wish it were in C or python or even java. Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 This is my preferred way of using GPSBabel...I have to go whimpering to Robert for assistance for all but the simplest of operations if I try to use the command line, but this wrapper seems to handle most of the tasks I ask it to do. Thanks, Quakemap! Quote Link to comment
