Use GPSBabel to convert it.

There is no plan to support other complex GPS data file. At least an interface to GPSBabel can be done, but it's not yet available as library, only a commmand line tool...

You could use gebabbel (http://gebabbel.sourceforge.net/) as a simple GUI for gpsbabel.

Gilles:
Can we close this as WONTFIX?

Comment 4 Philippe ROUBACH 2009-10-13 19:51:56 UTC 
you didn't understand

it's not a bug report it's a wish. i selected "wishlist"

i wish you add another format
Comment 5 Pieter Edelman 2009-10-14 10:09:38 UTC 
I also don't think it's a good idea to support anything else than GPX; it's public and the de facto standard supported by all major GPS vendors and applications, whereas NMEA is a somewhat archaic propriety protocol primarily meant for communicating data.

Michael,

Agree to close as WONTFIX ?
