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

[Craig B. <cb...@iw...>]

Hello Allen 
The locosys GPS has menu option for "minimum speed". This means the GPS will not record data below this set speed. Most windsurfers, liters and sailboats set a minimum speed of either 5 knots  or 5 mph.
I hope this helps.
Thank you

I have no browser so seems that online installer, which does list a 32 bit version, is out of the question.  But only a 64 bit version is listed for offline.  Or maybe I just don't understand but doesn't matter.

Now I am adding features like not starting the gpx file until the speed is above 1.3 knots so I don't just collect data while in the slip before the race.  Not sure if gpsbabel can do that or not but it is sometimes nice to build an application specific version in the long run.

Without doing a search, you and Gerhard are the two that come to mind. Perhaps there have been more that just haven't had the problems you've had.​ I use Windows only begrudgingly. If not for building GPSBabel, I'd have been mostly Microsoft-free since the late 80's so I can't offer huge amounts of help with the build setup.
