Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] Mac: Converting GPX to .ov2

[Mark B. <mar...@co...>]

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!

Mark
