Re: [Gpsbabel-code] regression: Garmin Forerunner 301, uploaded route truncated, no routepoints

[Robert L. <rob...@gp...>]

Thanx.

I remember that change being contested.   I've cc'ed the original author for

We haven't had an outpour of complaining about this in 1.4.x, so I don't
know if this is limited to the FR301 or if other older models are affected.

John, any thoughts?
