I don't think he was really trying to make fun. I thought of replying in a
very similar way. gpsbabel is such a simple program that it doesn't seem to
warrant a gui - particularly when most people will use it the same way each
time.

gpsbabel isn't that cryptic as far as command lines go, and it's well
documented from what I can see.

I have a shell script that gets the data from my gps into a standard folder
with a name based on the current date. (of course this doesn't work if I do
more than one upload a day). I'm planning to update it to attempt to copy
photos off the camera to a sub-folder at the same time.

#!/bin/sh

DATE=`date +%Y%m%d`  
gpsbabel -i garmin -o gpx /dev/ttyS0 ~/gps/${DATE}w.gpx
gpsbabel -t -i garmin -o gpx /dev/ttyS0 ~/gps/${DATE}t.gpx
