Did a search and found this http://www.gpsu.co.uk/ which seems to
indicate that it will read .gpl files. The main problem will be getting
good 'free' maps to use.

Anyone got any idea how the LOG output (.PGL suffix) from a GPS receiver
can be mapped onto a map - Autoroute or whatever.  The file appears to
be a text file of coordinates like this:

$PTOM101,PocketPC,Dell Axim X5,2577,4.20*6D

$PTOM102,GPS Engine,378,TomTom Navigator GPS,Serial Cable on COM1:*5A

$PTOM103,031124,171135.000,031124,171135.000*34

$PTOM104,\My Documents\GPS Log\GPS20031124171135-busy.pgl*D

,*15

$GPVTG,331.2,T,,M,0.0,N,0.0,K*63

$GPGGA,171129.018,5216.5853,N,00109.3154,W,1,07,1.3,176.7,M,,,,0000*1B

$GPGLL,5216.5853,N,00109.3154,W,171129.018,A*22

$GPRMC,171129.018,A,5216.5853,N,00109.3154,W,0.0,331.2,241103,,*13

$GPVTG,331.2,T,,M,0.0,N,0.0,K*63

$GPGGA,171130.018,5216.5855,N,00109.3154,W,1,07,1.3,177.4,M,,,,0000*17

$GPGLL,5216.5855,N,00109.3154,W,171130.018,A*2C



Ideally something to convert it into a form that can be loaded into
Autoroute or TomTom.



Cheers,



Tim.
