Re: [OSM-talk] GPSBabel 1.3.5

OK, my BGT-31 arrived today so did some testing of it after work (which got cut short by a drawing pin in the front wheel). Unfortunately for me, although I'd put the SD card in I'd forgotten to turn on logging so have only the internal log at 10 seconds. Eventually got gpsbabel 1.3.5 installed
