Talk:WBT-201
From Hexten
To get your WBT-201 used under Linux you first have to connect it via Bluetooth or USB. You can check the connection via cat /dev/rfcomm0 (Bluetooth, bind to /dev/rfcomm0 in this example) or cat /dev/ttyUSB0. If you use WBT-201 for the first time, you may need to exposure it on at a place where it can find enough satellites and wait around 13 minutes to initialize.

[edit] Bug? - Problem reading more than about 125.000 trackpoints
Hi folx,
I just discovered a problem with gpsbabel 1.3.4 (OS-X intel). When trying to read data from my WBT-201 I get things like shown in the following section within seconds:
gpsbabel -t -i wbt -f /dev/cu.serial-0001 -o gpx -F - <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <gpx version="1.0" creator="GPSBabel - http://www.gpsbabel.org" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd"> <time>2008-07-09T13:20:13Z</time> </gpx>
... but there are about 130.000 trackpoints on the device, showing properly up in Wintecs "TimeMachine" Tool for M$-Windows.
No difference between bluetooth and usb. A driver problem is unlikely since gtk-g-rays2 (daria.co.uk) connects properly. Furthermore I can see some communication with gpsbabel turning debugging on (-D 2):
Matched: @AL,8,3,1.000 versions: hw=1.100000, sw=1.306000, fmt=1.000000 Cmd: @AL,5,1 Matched: @AL,5,1,155648 Cmd: @AL,5,2 Matched: @AL,5,2,154048 Cmd: @AL,5,9 Matched: @AL,5,9,0 Cmd: @AL,5,10 Matched: @AL,5,10,2097152 Log addr=(155648..154048), area=(0..2097152) Cmd: @AL,2,1 Matched: @AL,2,1 Closing port...
Last successfully read trackpoint (with gpsbabel) has been "TP122882".
Is there a known problem with more than about 125.000 trackpoints? Any suggestion on how to fix this?
