Anyone using GPS-Tuner, CoPilot 6, Alan Map500?

Recently, I've added support for GPS-Tuner, Alan Map500 and CoPilot 6 to RouteConverter due to two dedicated users. Thank you Hartmut, Michael and Udo. Since I don't not know the software and devices they're using I'd like to get in contact with other users to validate that RouteConverter is doing the right thing.

Please feel free to drop me a comment or mail.

One more NMEA problem solved

Abie pointed me to a very stupid bug in the NMEA processing of RouteConverter. Starting with version 1.8, I've replaced the older GPSBabel based implementation by a self written one. The intention was to

• make the processing faster
  
• interpret a wider set of NMEA sentences
• merge NMEA sentences which describe the same position

Obviously, this comes with a price: It takes some time to stabilize the code. Please try the new version 1.9.2 which solves the problem that NMEA positions in the south east are misinterpreted as south west.

1.9 is ready

The latest version 1.9 from 09/12/07

• reads and writes GPS Tuner (*.trk) files
• reads and writes Google Earth 4.2 (*.kml und *.kmz) files
• better processes the track logs (*.pgl) from TomTom Navigator
• better processes the KML tracks from GPS Tour.Info
• writes Google Earth files, which allow to "Play back tour"
• writes NMEA tracks which can be read by GPS-Track-Analyse.NET 4 and locr
• allow to register the program for the supported file types
• fixes a bug with negative longitude and latitude values that occured within Navigon Mobile Navigator 5, 6 and Motorrad Tourenplaner files
• fixes a bug when reading GGA sentences from Tripmaster NMEA track logs

Have a look at it:

Top 50 ASCII OVL

Gestern habe ich die erste Anfrage nach einer Unterstützung von Top 50 ASCII OVL Dateien erhalten. Es gab auch Patches für GPSBabel, die aber in 1.3.4 nicht integriert bzw. aktiv sind. Wieviel Interesse besteht da?
