Garmin Tracklog Files

I think I just found out what to do with those Garmin Tracklog files that the new nüvis generate.

The clue was this site Garmin Nuvi 200 Track Hack

Not that I'm interested in hacking a nuvi 200.
But this is where I found the information on what to do with the 'gps.bin' tracklog file.

The clue was to get Nutrak.

But Newtrack is a utility for Windows you might say.
That is true. This guy from poland who wrote Nutrak has however included the source code.

So what do we do:

We get the Nutrak package from http://www.anpo.republika.pl/download.html

Then all we have to do is uncompress it.
From the terminal we cd into the source directory.

Now, let's compile Nutrak for Mac:
g++ main.cpp -o nutrak

Of course you have to have the Developer Tools installed to do so.

Now it compiles without any error messages.

So let's start it:
./nutrak
nutrak v0.07 (C) A.P. www.anpo.republika.pl
use: nutrak [-c] [-m] [-t seconds] gps.bin
-c - write course
-m - write miliseconds
-t - add time offset in seconds


cool ;-)
