Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] Microsoft Street and Trips to GEOJSON

[Robert L. <rob...@gp...>]

GeoJSON requests have been few and far between for us, but I checked in
 the aforementioned GeoJSON writer last night after requests for review and
help fell flat. Please check it out soon since it's likely to debut in
1.5.4 soon (like, this weekend) unless we get some meaningful feedback.
Source patches and comments welcome. S&T is actually the more troublesome
side of that equation: MS abandonded the product a few years back and I
think they'd changed their file formats in a few ways that broke our reader
before - you should lean on their GPX export capabilities to liberate your
date.
