hi folks, i've got a problem! software: gpsbabel 1.3.7. beta windows home edition, service pack 3 situation of affair: with converting a file from .gpi to .gpx i want to sent an symbol (.bmp) and a category (equal to all pois) with each poi to the .gmx-file. gpsbabel is running very well, se the info "Konvertierung erfolgreich", but apparently nothing happend. info about converting-parameters: gpsbabel -w -i garmin_gpi,bitmap=C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/Uwe Langen/Eigene Dateien/Mein Garmin/Benutzerdefinierte Wegpunktsymbole/001.bmp,category=bett&bike -f C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/Uwe Langen/Eigene Dateien/aa_gps/gps-tracks/adfc/bett&bike_poi_2010/ADFC_Bett_und_Bike.gpi -o gpx -F C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/Uwe Langen/Eigene Dateien/aa_gps/gps-tracks/adfc/bett&bike_poi_2010/bett&bike_test.gpx Konvertierung erfolgreich --------------------------------- with garmin mapsource thereafter i can open the .gpx file, alle pois are converted, but without my .bmp symbol and without the category what i'm doing wrong? thx in advance for your help ys uwe langen adfc langen/egelsbach germany, hessen (near by frankfurt/main) -- Sicherer, schneller und einfacher.

I know this is not a true conversion function, but is there anyway to use gpsbabel to prepend some text onto a way point name to avoid name collisions? I am downloading from a Garmin GPS and outputing in a GPX format for later import into Terrain Navigator Pro. Thanks, -mark |

But if you use the -Sn option, perhaps using the 'snlen' option to the GPX writer, GPSBabel will ensure the names in the output are unique.

I would assume that would only make them unique within that one output file. I generate an output file from a GPS from each search team and then import them all into our mapping software.

You can do the merge in GPSBabel and it'll ensure the uniqueness but for a special case you can probably do better with a custom tool or, as Greg suggested, brute force search and replace in the results.

We haven't sufficiently reverse-engineered the gpi format to extract categories from it. We don't do anything with the symbols in the bmp because most formats we write don't really allow icon data of arbitrary images. |
