![]() What is GPSBabel?GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes between popular GPS receivers and mapping programs. It also has powerful manipulation tools for such data.By flattening the Tower of Babel that the authors of various programs for manipulating GPS data have imposed upon us, it returns to us the ability to freely move our own waypoint data between the programs and hardware we choose to use.It contains extensive data manipulation abilities making it a convenient for server-side processing or as the backend for other tools.It does not convert, transfer, send, or manipulate maps. We process data that may (or may not be) placed on a map, such as waypoints, tracks, and routes.Does it run on my computer?Almost certainly. ![]() GPSBabel runs on Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, and Vista plus POSIX OSes such as Linux, UnixWare, OpenServer, Solaris, FreeBSD, and OSX.Supporting the projectWe get a constant stream of requests to support new hardware, improve support for existing OSes, and such. You can help fund the next generation (hey, someone funded what's there now.) by supporting the project with your time or your donation. Create a batch file on your desk top containing the following command: 'c:\Program Files (x86)\GPSBabel\gpsbabel.exe' -i gpx -f '1' -o garmin -F usb: (assuming that is where you have GPSBabel installed) Then you can drag/drop a gpx file onto the batch file and it will be sent to your USB attached Garmin device. If you have a way you'd like to see the money spent (i.e. improving Mac support, new GPS models, etc.) please mention that in your submission.GPSBabel for Windows is distributed as a zip file. To use this, create a directory to hold GPSBabel and extract the contents of the zip file to it. This will result in two runnable is the standard command line version described in the help is a graphical wrapper that allows you to pick single files to read and write from menus. What is GPSBabel?GPSBabel converts waypoints. GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes between popular GPS receivers and mapping programs.The program was updated 8 11:27 EST (NYC) time. Here's a program ( BC2GE) I wrote that will copy BaseCamp or GPX/TCX/KML clipboard data to Google Earth. It's one extra minor step compared to the GE integration that no longer works in BaseCamp. * It works with either 32 bit or 64 bit Google Earth. * It should work with all versions of BaseCamp (I've tried it with 4.6.2 and 4.7). * It should work with MapSource (I've tried it with 6.16.3). * It works in a simple way (which means it would be easy to update if Google Earth changes how it works). * You can drop gpx, tcx, and kml files onto the "Copy" button. * It will copy text in the clipboard that is formatted as gpx, txc, or kml. Google Earth will only let you paste text that is kml).ġ- Run BC2GE and BaseCamp (the order doesn't matter). (BaseCamp or MapSource.)Ģ- In BaseCamp, copy (Edit->Copy / ctrl-C / right-click-copy) the item into the clipboard.ģ- Click the purple " Copy" button in BC2GE => This will send the file to Google Earth (running it if it isn't already running).ġ- Drag gpx, fit, kml, or tcx files onto the " Copy" button.ġ- Copy gpx, kml, or tcx (as text) into the Clipboard.Ģ- Click the purple " Copy" button in BC2GE => This will send the text to Google Earth (starting it if it isn't already running). You might want to check "Top most" so that the BC2GE window floats on top (so, it's easily accessible). The " " button gives you some more options.
