[Gpsbabel-misc] Garmin ForeRunner

[Klaus R. <kl...@rh...>]

Maybe someone has experience with a Garmin ForeRunner unit and the associated software (ForeRunner Logbook)? I have a ForeTrex which
seems to be the better choice (if you do not want to use the extra training features).

The XML file format the logbook software uses is 'similar' to GPX but not compatible. I managed to enhance my GPX reader to accept
the ForeRunner XML format, so if anybody is interested, let me know.

I hope someone can shes some light on these questions which are bothering me:

- Can GPSBabel be used to download tracks from the unit?
- Can the native file format of the logbook be read by GPSBabel?
- Can MapSource be used instead of the logbook software?

Thanks in advance,
Klaus
