Hi, this is only partially related to the initial question, but maybe useful: GPSBabel [1] provides (at least basic) support for reading .fit files and is released under GPL-2(+).
Their implementation does only allow reading .fit files, but maybe it can be used as a basis for .fit support in QMS. -chris [1] http://www.gpsbabel.org/index.html On Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:30:54 +0100 Oliver Eichler <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok, we will drop it. > > Thanks for the feedback. > > Oliver > > Am Mittwoch, 25.
