My advisor is collecting data for my project, but he doesn’t use Windows. I found a free linux program called GPSBabel that supposedly will save GPX files. He responded:
That program that you list below has very little documentation, and I could not figure out how to get tracks from the device.
I believe the quote goes “Linux is only free if your time is worthless.”
Linux is great if you want to spend your life installing, configuring and divining how to use programs. Until more than 20% of the user base uses it, I’ll stick (unhappiliy) with the mainstream. I tend to avoid the mainstream at all costs, but when it came to developing TopoFusion, the choice was obvious. We wanted the program to be used by the largest number of people, so it’s written for Windows.
The new Crimso album is vibrating my desk currently. Powerful stuff.
I will attempt to ride the Chameleon today as my knee is feeling better. We shall see how it goes.
