hello to all, i am using gpsbabel to transform a text based output to gpx format. this works fine. now i want to show different tracks in one map on maps.google. this works fine, but i can not differ between the tracks, because the name, cmt and desc are just a value for meter. can i put some value like "filename" in the gpx xml? thank for help cstorch -- Psssst!

In general, most of the text-y (and definitely the latter) make poor choices of input formats when your goal is to output tracks and preserve the fidelity of starts and stops. You should choose a more robust file type to source the data. If you're on a mission to keep the input format unchanged and this is a format that really doesn't do tracks very well, you could keep the inputs in separate files, use separate invocations of GPSBabel to output to GPX, then merge the results. |
