But it's easier to use our tranform filter to do it. http://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-development/filter_transform.html (It's in the GUI under advanced features.) It makes short work of your file: $ gpsbabel -i gpx -f x.gpx -x transform,trk=rte,del -o gpx -F - <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <gpx version="1.0" creator="GPSBabel - http://www.gpsbabel.org" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd"> <time>2012-02-17T22:16:08Z</time> <bounds minlat="51.751680000" minlon="0.102790000" maxlat="51.766489000" maxlon="0.113304000"/> <trk> <name>Route 19.12.2011,20:04</name> <desc>Generated from route Route 19.12.2011,20:04</desc> <trkseg> <trkpt lat="51.766489000" lon="0.102790000"> </trkpt> <trkpt lat="51.765463000" lon="0.104822000"> </trkpt> <trkpt lat="51.763970000" lon="0.104581000"> </trkpt> <trkpt lat="51.761774000" lon="0.105766000"> </trkpt> <trkpt lat="51.758597000" lon="0.109229000"> </trkpt> <trkpt lat="51.756564000" lon="0.112087000"> </trkpt> > Do you think the Mercedes format could be added into GPSBabel? > I won't say "never" but with several hundred new users a day it takes more than a single request to get me to invest the several hours to add such things. This one is particularly offensive because they created something that was an open, interoperable standard format and screwed it up so badly that it's unusable to anything else. In fact, as one of the guys involved in the creation and maintenance of the GPX format, I'd consider the existence of this format to be a bug. Enjoy.
