just a little test:
- I've re-installed gpsbabel by the osgeo4w-setup/installer
- gpsbabel.exe lives in c:\osgeo4w/bin with following properties:
{{{
C:\wd\mg>gpsbabel --version
GPSBabel Version 1.4.1. http://www.gpsbabel.org
}}}
{{{
20.07.2010 20:29 845.824 GPSBabel.exe
}}}
{{{
GPSBabel Version 1.4.1. http://www.gpsbabel.org
Usage:
gpsbabel [options] -i INTYPE -f INFILE [filter] -o OUTTYPE -F OUTFILE
gpsbabel [options] -i INTYPE -o OUTTYPE INFILE [filter] OUTFILE
Converts GPS route and waypoint data from one format type to another.
The input type and filename are specified with the -i INTYPE
and -f INFILE options. The output type and filename are specified
with the -o OUTTYPE and -F OUTFILE options.
If '-' is used for INFILE or OUTFILE, stdin or stdout will be used.
In the second form of the command, INFILE and OUTFILE are the
first and second positional (non-option) arguments.
INTYPE and OUTTYPE must be one of the supported file types and
may include options valid for that file type. For example:
'gpx', 'gpx,snlen=10' and 'ozi,snlen=10,snwhite=1'
(without the quotes) are all valid file type specifications.
Options:
-p Preferences file (gpsbabel.ini)
-s Synthesize shortnames
-r Process route information
-t Process track information
-T Process realtime tracking information
-w Process waypoint information [default]
-b Process command file (batch mode)
-c Character set for next operation
-N No smart icons on output
-x filtername Invoke filter (placed between inputs and output)
-D level Set debug level [0]
-l Print GPSBabel builtin character sets and exit
-h, -? Print detailed help and exit
-V Print GPSBabel version and exit

- and a little test with a small gpx-file of a garmin-gps:
{{{
C:\wd\mg>gpsbabel -i gpx -f ask_bayern_ll_wgs84.gpx -o gpx -F
testgpsbabel.gpx
GPX: This build excluded GPX support because expat was not installed.
}}}
so it seems that Jürgen's updated version didn't find its way to the
officinal osgeo4w-stack?
and see a message in the osgeo4w-ML:
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeo4w-dev/2010-September/001062.html
{{{
[...]
... of putting a copy on osgeo4w that very likely is going to get out of
date.
[...]
}}}
what would be the best way to get this working for the WinGrass-builds and
WinGrass-build-environment?
replacing osgeo4w's gpsbabel with a copy of
http://www.gpsbabel.org/download.html?
IMHO gps-data is nowadays a very important data source which should be
imported as default to any gis-software.
best regards
Helmut
