Reading Garmin .txt files

[Sutripta]

Hi Sutripta,

welcome in the forum.

And since a text format with a complex, irregular structure: why don't you use the .gdb file?

Thanks.

.txt for waypoints:
The text file can be imported in a spreadsheet. Which in some cases makes for easier editing. In any case, GPSBabel can read and convert these.

.txt for tracks:
The .gdb file does not explicitly have a field for speed, the .txt file does. GPSBabel chokes on the date/ time format.
