[Gpsbabel-misc] V 1.2.8 Beta GTM -> GPX Bug?

[Leifur <le...@ca...>]

After using the latest GPSBabel Beta to translate a lot of track files from
GPS TrackMaker (.GTM) format to .GPX (and deleting the originals) I
discovered that all track point times have been shifted forward by 3 hours.

I am now engaged in the laborious task of determining (from photo time
stamps!) which files originated as GTM -> PLT -> GPX (the old way - which
works without a hitch) and which ones used the GTM -> GPX translation.

In case any of you use GPS TrackMaker and wonder why I don't simply have
that program write to GPX - that function REMOVES some (but not all) track
point time stamps during the translation process (in addition to generating
a GPX without any line breaks!), the gtm -> plt -> gpx way was my workaround
until version 1.2.8 og GPSBabel.

Needless to say time stamps have taken on a new importance now that photos
can be "location stamped" after the fact if you have an old track file lying
around and the photos themselves were properly timestamped.

I guess "Caveat Emptor" would apply if the software weren't free :-)
