[OSM-talk] SportsTracker/GPX/CSV/KML to NMEA conversion and fakegps

Hello,

In order to test some apps I need some fake gpsd which can be provided by the
gpsfake app, but it seems that the input file must be some kind of NMEA log
that I am unable to produce. AFAIUI, I am unable to add information about
satellites since the GPX files don't contain them, although the original files
contains at least the number of seen satellites.


I have several traces from my Nokia E71 phone (SportsTracker app) which contain
all this information which would be ideal for my tests, but it seems that any
attempt to produce a good enough nmea log failed.


I used gpsbabel, but in some cases it seems it created broken NMEA logs
(containing '---,' as the first characters).


Is there a way to create NMEA logs from the GPX, csv or kml file of a track so 
I can use it in gpsfake?
