Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] Installing gpsbabel on Intel Edison

[Allen E. <all...@ol...>]

I was pointed to this blog entry http://hobby.farit.ru/qt5-gui-intel-edison/

And it looked a little more complicated than other Edison related things I
spent days on with no luck.  It seems it would be easier to write my own
converter than follow that rabbit hole.

I have gpsbabel running on my Windows 7 machine and my hope was to find
something as simple as that was.

I have searched using Google for a converter but pretty much all the
articles reference gpsbabel.

I was just hoping that it was not this difficult.

Also, I need to give this to a half dozen other users and if it look
complicated to me, it will be impossible for them.
