make TF able to read .txt files from hyperterminal
« on: February 19, 2005, 11:44:14 AM »
i need TF to open up .txt files from captured hyperterminal sessions with my magellan.  why?  i will be taking my magellan sportrak gps on a 7 day dirtbike ride in the summer.  my sportrak only holds 2000 track points.  i have been testing my unit on tough single track rides where a 75 miles can account for 1000 points.  at that rate, the gps will be maxed out in less than two days.

a buddy from Canada told me about hyperterminal. that way i can dialogue with the unit every night and saved the days trackpoints and send them by email to my house each night. [every hotel as a internet connection, every PC has hyperterminal whether the owner ever knows it or not]

i have found a program that opens up these text files without having to do any modification of the file, GPSUtility. But the freeware version only allows for a small number of trackpoints.  I have registered with TF instead.

seems like opening up this kind of .txt file could be a lay-up since TF can dialog and download data from my magellan.  or maybe it can do this already?

this function would really open up the power of my limited gps.

thank you for your consideration
