I use GPSBabel to convert from the nmea files on the memory card to a 
GPX file.

If you use the PC software that comes with the BGT-11 then, I think this 
will produce GPX formatted files.

There is also a perl script: http://www.splitbrain.org/projects/navilink 
that will allow you to read directly from the bgt-11 on MAC's and linux.

If you're still having trouble, then send me the files and I'll see what 
I can do with them.

Cheers
