GPSBabel Tips and Tricks

GPSBabel is a command line utility (there is a gui but it has limited functionality) that converts waypoints, tracks and routes from one file format to another. Though it is not geared toward Geocaching, GPSBabel can be used to assist a Geocacher.

GPSBabel is growing and is being used by both GSAK and Google Earth for coordinate conversions and GPS communications.
