> I have Keyspand USB-serial converter that I used with my garman stuff > you are welcome to play with Robert like over the weekend ...... JOE Thanx for the offer. The key question is, "does GPSBabel work OK with your Keyspan USB/serial adapters?" If the answer is "no", then I'll hop all over that. With two folks chiming in that identical Vistas (down to identical firmware) work, yet a Vista and a 12XL owner reporting seemingly identical problems, I have to believe that something is up, but am still looking for that critical differentiator. What's different for the folks getting NULs instead of a DLE? If I *knew* it was a certain model of USB converter, I'd go to the bank at http://sourceforge.net/project/project_donations.php?group_id=58972 and order one tonight. But as it stands, we just don't know... JoGPS, if you have a Vista running 2.60 firmware, does a GPSBabel serial transfer succeed for you? If you get fussing about a missing DLE if you run gpsbabel -D9 -i garmin -f COMwhatever: on your keyspan thingy - and especially if you don't when using a "real" serial port - I'd welcome a chance to fondle your hardware and make this problem go away. Thanx! RJL |

I was recently using a Keyspan USB/serial adapter on a project and had significant problems with corrupted data and dropped bytes, even at speeds as low as 2.4kbps. Changed to a different adapter and my problems went away. - Jason Fox Robert Lipe wrote: >> I have Keyspand USB-serial converter that I used with my garman stuff >> you are welcome to play with Robert like over the weekend ......

I actually have a handful of these beasts here. Let me try it later and see what I come up with.

There have been a couple of groups that have tried to do this. http://wayhoo.com comes to mind first, since it uses GPSBabel but there is also http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gps_tracks_waypoints . > It was a bit of work getting all the Highway Exits along the way. Depending on the accuracy you want, it's usually not too bad with a program like MapSend or Mapsource. Just bring up the map, plonk a waypoint (or better yet, a route) where interesting turns happen, save to a file, then use GPSBabel to convert that to an arc, suitable for feeding back to GPSBabel. (Yes, it's been noted that the arc filter could kind of recursively invoke GPSBabel's own innards to read "real" such files, but the complexity of doing so quickly gets mind-numbing.) I'll confess that this is probably the thing I use Street Atlas for most. I let it generate the route, pull the route into GPSBabel, pass it through the simplify filter, reduce it to a few hundred waypoints, then save that arc for future use. (While doing this, I've mused at the joy that the SA moule, the simplify filter, and the arc modules all came from Ron and not me. :-) I keep a directory of "canned" interstate routes laying around that happen to cover trips to distant family or other frequent destinations. It's not like the interstates move around that much... RJL |

Hmmm. Guess that is another reason I may need to look at Street Atlas. Have been using Streets & Trips and though there are many features I have not used - I don't think it will give me a list of waypoints from a route. I clicked on all the exits on the S&T map along the route I was taking then typed in all the coordinates. Used the list for both the Arc filter and for waypoint indexes withing GSAK. Thanks.

On a related note: I have the boundaries of every county in the US in GPSBabel arc format (suitable for use with the polygon filter.) I'd love to put them somewhere useful, but I'm not sure parkrrrr.com is up to the strain. Any suggestions? |
