Price includes mobile fitting. They do batteries too.

However, most sites that offer GPS logs seem to tend to use Tracklogs. Memory map won’t open TRL, so here’s an easy way to convert them:

First, get GPSBabel. This is a nice, free, command-line utility that converts between different GPS formats, including TRL. (I did try GPSU before, and found it almost entirely counter-intuitive).

GPSBabel won’t export any memory-map specific files. However, it will export “GPX” format, which Memory Map understands. Invoke GPSBabel as follows:

C:\...\gps>gpsbabel-1.3.3\gpsbabel.exe -i dmtlog -f Peaks100_Day1.trl -o gpx -F Peaks100_Day1.gpx

(-i dmtlog specifies an input type of TRL.)

This gives me a GPX file called Peaks100_Day1.gpx, which I can import into Memory-Map using Overlay|Import.

However, that gives you a “track”, not a “route”. The difference between a route and a track, according to Memory-Map’s help, is as follows:

a “Route” is a sequence of connected “Waypoints” where you intend to go. A “Mark” is a waypoint that is not part of any route (marks and waypoints are really the same thing). A “Track” is where you have actually been, as recorded by the GPS.

The practical implication is that you have context menu options like “follow route” for routes - I don’t know how useful this is because I haven’t tried it (yet).

If you want to use the file as a route instead of as a track, use the following syntax instead:

C:\...\gps>gpsbabel-1.3.3\gpsbabel.exe -i dmtlog -f Peaks100_Day1.trl -x transform,rte=trk,del -o gpx -F Peaks100_Day1.2.gpx

The relevant flags are documented here.

(Alternatively, you could invoke the former command and “Convert to Route” in memory map, but this loses detail; the latter method preserves all waypoints).

Before you import a route for the first time, you may wish to change your default waypoint symbol to a ‘dot’ otherwise you’ll get zillions of annoying flag symbols on your map. To do this, create a “new mark”, in the properties for it, change the symbol and check “make default”.

I can then send this route to my device (when it’s attached) using Mobile Device|Export Data To Device.

Thanks, GPSBabel!
