Hi, I am routinely compiling a package and since I have moved to R 2.10.0, it troncates some section texts in the doc: With the following section in the rd file: \details{ The function calls gpsbabel via the system. The gpsbabel program must be present and on the user's PATH for the function to work see <http://www.gpsbabel.org/>. The function has been tested on the following Garmin GPS devices: Etrex Summit, Etrex Vista Cx and GPSmap 60CSx. } ...compiling under R 2.9.2 (rcmd buil...

I'm trying to run a program called GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife) under Wine. Most of it runs, however, as part of its normal operation it creates a batch file, BABEL.BAT, to communicate with a GPS using GPSBabel. I've run GPSBabel by itself under wine and it works. I've run the batchfile by hand and *THAT* works (under wcmd). However, I've since discovered that when GSAK tries to execute BABEL.BAT (GSAK is a delphi program which uses something similar to VBs ShellExecute to run batch files),...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'd seen gpsbabel, but simply converting the tracks doesn't appear to display them. Another user suggested a downloadable Google Earth, so I'll try that. Failing all else, I've used shell scripting in my day job for the last 18 years (and before that Digital's DCL for the previous 18 years). I'...

Anyone ever used the iGPS-500 under CentOS 5? Any recommendations on a USB-based GPS that "just works"? Ray

I have a Garmin 78s marine GPS receiver and it stores tracks in GPX format. This is an XML encoded set of points giving longitude, latitude, time and sea depth. Garmin support viewing this via their Garmin Express product, but there only seem to be Windows and Mac versions. I've emailed them and await a reply. In the mean time, does anyone know of any Linux products that will emable me to

...he wheel by coding > up a hack myself. I road travel quite a bit, and have a Garmin Dezl 760D with my own profiles on there. In both of my trucks, I've got gps recievers running off raspberry pi3's, running CentOS7/armv7 images. I bring all this together on my laptop, running viking and gpsbabel under the hood. This allows me to do all my route planning on either google-maps, google-earth, or viking and all the tracks from the different devices come together as layers. The POI tracking and specially the topo tracking on viking is pretty good. There is no viable road-route planner that wor...

Last time I tried, a few years back, Wine was not yet up to handling Garmin's proprietary topo map software. It would install, and sometimes even work, so long as I didn't try to connect a GPS to it. (The ones I have are all also Garmins -- old ones wanting a serial port.) I made a huge effort, for most of a year, with a lot of help from high-powered Alpha Plus Technoids on several
