[OSM-talk] OT: gpsbabel frontend

[John McKerrell]

I use it on OS X with no frontend. Mainly used it in the past for  
converting kml to gpx, but my kml wasn't in the best of states so I  
then had to run some perl to convert the resultant gpx to trackpoints  
with ISO date format instead of waypoints with just time. Recently  
I've been saving tracks as plt which works fine but I'm intending to  
try NMEA next time.
