What is it?

MagCon reads and writes tracks, routes and waypoints from and to your Magellan GPS. It was tested on a SporTrak Pro, but should work on all SporTraks, all Meridians, the 315/320 and other devices. If it doesn't, or if it works on another device please contact me.

Necessities

You need a Magellan GPS device that can export tracks and a Palm PDA with OS>=3.0.

How to use it

1. Please read and accept the license.
2. Install MagCon using your favorite synctool.
3. Start it and follow the onscreen instructions.
4. Timeout means interbyte timeout. The higher the value the faster the communication.
5. You can convert the downloaded track to Magellan MapSend format using the 2mag tool which is included in this package.
6. Routes and waypoints can be converted to a GPSBabel enabled textfile using the pdb2txt tool which is included in this package.

License

MagCon and 2Mag are open source, licensed under the GPL.
