Anyone know of a good (free) GPS file translation programme ? I used to use GPSUtility, and that was fine with my old GPS, which saved a fairly crude tracklog. But now with my new GPS, the tracks saved are much more accurate, with many more trackpoints, and I cannot read them into GPSUtility as that cuts off at 500 trackpoints.
I can read the files into EasyGPS and GPSVisualiser, but I would like to be able to translate the files into a text format, so I can process them in Excel easily.
There must be some simple programme out there which translates between all these types ?

While on the subject, what would be the best formal for exporting Portal sites to a GPS? Currently we have Excel CVS and Google Earth KML.

In reply to Andy B,
Normally I convert the KML files the megalithic portal into GPX files to use in my Mapping Software, then from there a few points migrate their way to the gps. but with using the gpx files you just get the site name, not the site type which can be a little annoying when you haven't researched a particular area before you get there.
