Precis:
User data exported from later model Garmin GPSmap marine GPS sets consists of ADM files written
to a VFAT-formatted SD card.
This data includes user-generated waypoints and routes, and recorded GPS tracks.

adm2gpx.pl is a Perl script which converts this data to industry-standard GPX records.
These  may be imported into third-party mapping and GPS software.

Requirements:
Perl
Getopt::Std  (CPAN, if not included in Perl)

Usage:
adm2gpx.pl  [-hvdD] <ADM input file> <GPX output file>

Convert Garmin ADM 1.1 database file, as generated by e.g. GPSmap 546,
to industry-standard GPX XML.

Options:
 -h    
 -V    show program version then exit.
 -v    verbose - show some statistics such as numbers of waypoint records,
       names of tracks and routes.
 -d    debug - show some information of interest to program developers,
       such as data locations, plus a text version of the output data.
 -D    Show more information, plus a hex dump of each record.

Output filename is mandatory, but may be set to /dev/null on Linux/Unix to discard
output and show only debugging information.
