GPSBabel
GPSBabel is open source software for GPS file conversion and
transfer to/from GPS units. It has a command-line interface and a
graphical interface.
GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes from one
format to
another, whether that format is a common mapping format like Delorme,
Streets and Trips, or even a serial upload or download to a GPS unit
such as those from Garmin and Magellan. It also has powerful
manipulation tools for such data.
GPSBabel supports dozens of data formats and will be useful
for tasks such as geocaching, mapping, and converting from one GPS unit
to another. Among the interesting formats it supports are several GPS
devices via a serial link, various PDA-based mapping programs, and
various Geocaching data formats.
GPSBabel is popular in the Geocaching community because it
enables people with incompatible GPS units to share data.
