#GPSBABEL WINDOWS BUILD CODE#
For that 'initial_import' tag, there's about 2,700 lines of code and header in total of ten supported formats. We perfectly stuck the landing to 64-bit - that 'initial_import' version works just fine on today's 64-bit systems, though they were still quite rare in 20 when our original development work began.
#GPSBABEL WINDOWS BUILD MAC#
This is impressive because Apple has replaced the processor in their Mac line twice (Power->Intel->M1) since then. You can actually check out that 'initial_import' and build it without warning on a Mac M1 today.
The code itself has been an interesting study over the years. We have our choice of birthdays (code start, public launch, source code shared) and precision doesn't really matter that much, so my personal calendar is always marked July 1.
I shared it with others starting Jand I uploaded it to on July 31, 2002. In practice, I rewrote both halves, but with the strong dividing line that made it a "converter". In principle, I wanted the back half of one program but the front half of the other. Strongly separating the readers and the writers was the key decision that made us unique. This was the genesis of the idea and later the program that became GPSBabel. I later found another program that was terrible in different ways, but I was faced with the need to use the same data sets with the same receivers. I quickly found a Linux program to enter coordinates, but it was pretty terrible, though it had some nice datasets included with it. That meant I spent a couple of hours looking in the woods in an incorrect location. One of my very early attempts to find a geocache was foiled because I mis-entered the coordinates by hand into it.
#GPSBABEL WINDOWS BUILD SERIAL#
A powerful device in that era had 8MB of memory and a tiny black and white screen and a serial port connection. In December of 2001, I started the hobby of geocaching, which is using GPS to find items hidden by others. I missed the anniversary of when I started the code that became GPSBabel (last December), but I'd like to take a moment to (self-)congratulate GPSBabel for being public for twenty years!

It's been quite a while since I last executed GPSBabel from the command line, but I still use it almost daily as part of GSAK. That was in Hawn State Park near Farmington, MO. I can still remember and appreciate the presentation you made at the 1st iteration of MOGA. > Gpsbabel-misc mailing list > To unsubscribe, change list options, or see archives, visit: > To unsubscribe, change list options, or see archives, visit: > Is there any possibility to convert CSV-files from the Columbus > Failing that, someone will need to add a C++ module it to handle it. > If your're interested in being that person, see if you can support it via > We've had no requests for it and I don't know of anyone working on If you csv file contains POIs or Wake-up points this may be an issue.
