Description:

From the http://gpsbabel.org/ manpage:

GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes from one format to
another, whether that format is a common mapping format like
Delorme, Streets and Trips, or even a serial upload or download to a
GPS unit such as those from Garmin and Magellan. By flattening the
Tower of Babel that the authors of various programs for manipulating
GPS data have imposed upon us, it returns to us the ability to
freely move our own waypoint data between the programs and hardware
we choose to use.

GPSBabel supports 96 various GPS related data formats. In addition to file
conversion it supports upload and download to a number of serial and USB
devices. This module provides a (thin) wrapper around the gpsbabel binary
making it easier to use in a perlish way.
