Title: Gpsbabel Problem
Post by: jpmatrix on February 25, 2008, 08:13:28 am

following this guide :

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Ma...ebrew-ware#Gpsd (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Making_Tracks_with_Homebrew-ware#Gpsd)

i tried to convert an nmea dump file by :

1-dumping the data with

echo rw | nc localhost 2947 > test.dump


the test.dump file seems to contain some nmea data.

2-convert the dump to gpx (i also tried kml) with :

gpsbabel -i nmea -f test.dump -o gpx -F gpsd.gpx


but gpsbabel kept running for some minutes and finally hung with a memory problem....
anyone has yet tried ?
(i've 480 Mo swap file configured under debian...)
