N800 gpsbabel supporting the WBT-201

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

 



Guys

I made a patch for maemo-mapper to give it menu options to load or
erase the wintec log. Much easier than the command line, especially on
a hiking trip :)

If you want to try it and you don't have scratchbox set up, I have a
test build I could put online.
