Robert, Thank you for the reply! Drat! Sorry that I didn't notice the build dates before posting my E-mail. I wouldn't know the first thing about where to begin compiling it myself. And I'd be almost as lost trying to run it from a command line. So, I guess I'll just have to wait until a more recent version is compiled with the GUI and made available as a download. Given that the last (non beta ) version is almost 4 months old, hopefully, it won't be too much longer. BTW, I am planning to use it to convert Geocache GPX and .loc files for use with TomTom Navigator 5 on my Palm Zire 72. I've already got the Palm set up with CacheMate so I'm all set for paperless Geocaching and a GPS (CacheNav) to hunt down the Caches once I'm in a particular Cache's area. The problem is getting to or knowing when I'm passing by a Cache when navigating the roads with Navigator 5. So, I've got my fingers crossed that it won't be too much longer for a GPSBabel update because I'm dead in the water until then. Thanks again!
