amod 3080 data logger

[mcdavis]

Hi, i got this new gps data logger.  The unit creates a .log file that is basically all NMEA sentence.  I'm having some trouble opening the file and getting data. Setting the file extension to .log file extension of Magellan almost works correctly, but there is a bunch of data that doesn't show up.  I was wondering if you could take a look at the file and help get it squared away?  Right now i'm using gpsvisualizer as a patch to convert the file to .gpx, but i want to keep using TF for everything.

anyone home?  anyway, here is a sample data file from the amod 3080 unit...it is in .log format but is basically nmea sentences.  like i mentioned above, the .log format of explorist track file seems to open and convert the file into TF ok....however all the neat data i think is off, specifically the climbing elevation is zero should be say 1000 feet, the date doesn't show up, the total time is 15777 days? but the distance, number of track points and the moving time appear to be correct.

any help would be appreciated

Hi,

Yeah, the .log opening code is designed more for the Magellan format.  It only gets the basics from NMEA files.  I will see what I can do for a future version.  It would be a good thing to support.

Thanks.

Thanks scott...hope you guys can spare the time to figure this unit out ...

Try the new beta:

I think I got it loading elevation and time data correctly.  Please post up whether it works or not, though certainly no rush.

Thanks!

scott... i just used the latest TF tonight...indeed,works like a treat and all the cool data calculations are populated...thanks so much for adding this to the program.  it's so nice to have just a single goto application for all my gps mapping needs!
