Dave, I think you want to use the transform filter http://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-1.4.2/filter_transform.html To translate the route to a track, and preserve the original route, use gpsbabel -i gpx -f GPSBabel\ Test\ -\ MM\ Output.gpx -x,transform,trk=rte -o gpx -F mm.gpx If you want to translate the route to a tracke and delete the original route then use gpsbabel -i gpx -f GPSBabel\ Test\ -\ MM\ Output.gpx -x,transform,trk=rte -x,nuketypes,routes -o gpx -F mm.gpx Steve On 4/15/2012 1:28 PM, Dave Wright wrote: > > Hi > > Can anyone one this distribution list help with a query I have with > converting a GPX file to a file which is recognised as a Track by a > Garmin GPSMAP 62S? > > *Background* > > I'm a Search Manager with Tweed Valley Mountain Rescue Team based in > the Scottish Borders.
