Igotu2gpx 0.1.1 has been released.
Igotu2gpx is a linux command line program to dump the internal flash of
the gps tracker and decode the stored tracks and waypoints. It uses
libusb, so you shouldn't use the navman kernel module.
Changes in 0.1.1:
- more reliable usb connection to the gps tracker
- new command line paramter --verify to get an idea what data is sent to
the gps tracker
- Debug messages are send to stderr per default
