Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] removing/preventing errors, Delorme to Google Earth

[Mike M. <mcc...@ya...>]

Now we're on to something!  I have a number of log files that freeze 
when playing back, and I wrote them off to being corrupted.  Now I can 
see that the freeze happens at the exact spot where the zinger begins. 

So, not only am I now able to move the log files onto Google Earth, I
am 
also able to fix the "corrupted" files since I now know that they
aren't 
really corrupted, rather they just need their zingers cut out.

I will play around with the filters, too.  But bottom line this is 
really a joy to be able not only to get my logs on Google Earth but
also 
to be able to recover all my logs, even the ones that otherwise would 
freeze Delorme.

Thanks,
Mike
