Magcon
What is it?
MagCon reads and writes tracks, routes and waypoints from and to your Magellan GPS. It was tested on a SporTrak Pro, but should work on all SporTraks, all Meridians, the 315/320 and other devices. If it doesn't, or if it works on another device please contact me.
Necessities
You need a Magellan GPS device that can export tracks and a Palm PDA with OS>=3.0.
How to use it
- Please read and accept the license.
- Install MagCon using your favorite synctool.
- Start it and follow the onscreen instructions.
- Timeout means interbyte timeout. The higher the value the faster the communication.
- You can convert the downloaded track to Magellan MapSend format using the 2mag tool which is included in this package.
- Routes and waypoints can be converted to a GPSBabel enabled textfile using the pdb2txt tool which is included in this package.
