Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] Conversion Help Needed

[Jim B. <jun...@ch...>]

We have tried replacing the pipe with a comma and it did not work.  When you
try insert it into gpsmapmaker, it does not work. GSAK will open it but all
the names are replaced with waypoint numbers.  Mapsource will not open it.
GSAK and mapsource will open the gpx files wayhoo.com creates 

I've attached an example of the gpx file you can get from www.wayhoo.com 
(The problem is they only let you convert 20 at a time and we need to
convert hundreds/thousands.  What we are trying to do is get the pipe
delimited file into the format you get from wayhoo.com.  

Here is what Wayhoo says on their site:

Wayhoo uses an online implementation of GPSBabel to create datafiles
compatible with many popular software packages

So it sounds like there is some way to convert it.  

They do not have anyway to contact them so we cannot ask them
how they do it or ask them to increase the limit from 20.

Thanks again for any help.  We want to get them converted so we can make
Garmin maps with them and give the maps away.
