GPSBabel

GPSBabel

GPSBabel is a free software command line application that can talk to many GPS devices (including my Forerunner 305), and convert a zillion GPS data file formats to and from each other. Relevant points for my use

  • the gpx format is XML-based: GPS's "lingua franca" for tracks, routes and waypoints, but does not support HR data
  • the garmin301 format is a very simple CSV format for track data: timestamp, lat, lng, alt, hr.
  • the gtrncntr format is a partial implementation of the Garmin Training Center XML format. It does support heart rate, but the files that gpsbabel exports are in other respects presently a bit noddy.

This is Daniel Barlow's personal blog thing, now in its fifth regeneration. Most of what you will find here is inline skating, cycling and matters arising.
