The various formats are defined by the vendors.

If you're trying to "reverse fit" a format, it can be helpful to roam
the definitions in the style directory in the source (also available as
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gpsbabel/gpsbabel/style/ ) to see
if you can find a match.

In most cases I can look at the file and write my own definition faster
than I can figure out "this one is sorta like that one only with those
two fields flipped and another added" because I then end up writing my
own definition anyway.
