Does gpsbabel allow the user to convert a track with trackpoints to a = route with waypoints, and vice versa? Thanks! Billy Dean www.thebannerisup.com www.planetklx.com the...@ve... |

What we have is some formats that dont' really distinguish the two so suitably determined users can, for some cases, bounce things through interim formats and get the results they want. There are lots of sharp edges involved. For example, trackpoints usually don't have a name while routepoints usually require them. But the rules are different for different formats. I've been known to convert to GPX, do the search and replace and manual fixes to make it a valid route, and then go from there. But even that depends on knowing more about the target format than most folks likely will. RJL |

GpsUtil http://www.gpsu.co.uk/ has some tools to do this... the free version is limited to 500 trackpoints. I have been successful in using it to convert a number of tracks to routes, including easily editing out wrong turns and backtracks using the map display option. Beverly Howard |
