gpsbabel [options] -i INTYPE -f INFILE -o OUTTYPE -F OUTFILE
gpsbabel [options] -i INTYPE -o OUTTYPE INFILE [OUTFILE]
Converts GPS route and waypoint data from one format type to another.
The input type and filename are specified with the -i INTYPE and -f
INFILE options. The output type and filename are specified with the -o

In the second form of the command, INFILE and OUTFILE are the first and
second positional (non-option) arguments.
INTYPE and OUTTYPE must be one of the file types listed below, and may
include options valid for that file type. For example: 'gpx',
'gpx,snlen=10' and 'ozi,snlen=10,snwhite=1' (without the quotes) are
all valid file type specifications.
-s Synthesize shortnames
-r Process route information
-t Process track information
-w Process waypoint information [default]
-N No smart icons on output
-x filtername
Invoke filter
-D level
Set debug level [0]
-h, -? Print detailed help and exit

The following file types and appropriate options are available for use
with the -i and -o options.
