GPSBabel: Read, Write, and Manipulate GPS Waypoints
GPSBabel is a free Mac program developed by Solar Model that allows users to read, write, and manipulate GPS waypoints. It supports over 100 different formats, including GPX, Magellan, and Garmin. With GPSBabel, you can easily transfer waypoints from one program to another and even convert them to be read on different GPS devices. The program also supports the KML format, which is compatible with Google Earth maps.
While GPSBabel is a highly flexible GPS tool, it may be tricky for GPS beginners to understand. Users need to have some familiarity with GPS devices and know how to read data from a file and write it to another file. The developer provides a Quick Use Guide that explains the four basic options required to perform these tasks.
Overall, GPSBabel is a perfect solution for those who are already familiar with GPS coordinates and various formats. However, beginners may need to invest some time in learning the basics of GPS before fully utilizing this program.
