N800 gpsbabel supporting the WBT-201

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Rainer,

Sorry, I don't have a 770 scatchbox. And scatchbox is not entirely my
favourite environment after a frustrating time failing to compile an
otherwise largely trivial GTK/glade app, compounded by the twisty little
maze of broken Google links after the maemo.org site upgrade.

Anyway, building gpsbabel for maemo is trivial --- just type 'make'.
And at <http://www.daria.co.uk/gps/> there is a simple CLI application
to display and set WBT-201 settings, which also compiles for maemo.
