Accept other formats as input GPS files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is a feature request more than anything else.

It would be nice to add other file formats maybe using an external link 
with GPS Babel.

Otherwise this is a great program, thanks !

I think it's important to push for GPX  since it's purpose is to avoid format 
problems:
http://www.topografix.com/gpx_for_users.asp

If we always propose to directly add support for all the proprietary formats 
we're
slowing the adoption of a common open standard.

All the software I've met so far can directly save in GPX (MapSource, MemoryMap,
EasyGPS,...). So I think the people who "want" proprietary formats can also 
make the
effort to use the excellent GPS Babel when needed (I'll add a link directly on 
the
website).

Never the less I'll see if I can also use GPS Babel in the backend latter.

Thanks!

Ok, GPSbabel command-line version is integrated in the new 1.01  version of 
GPicSync
and the first new format to be supported is NMEA.

Can you tell me if there are other popular formats which are important to 
support in
your view.

Thanks
