By flattening the Tower of Babel that the +authors of various programs for manipulating GPS data have imposed upon us, it +returns to us the ability to freely move our own waypoint data between the +programs and hardware we choose to use. + +It contains extensive data manipulation abilities making it a convenient for +server-side processing or as the backend for other tools. + +It does not convert, transfer, send, or manipulate maps. We process data that +may (or may not be) placed on a map, such as waypoints, tracks, and routes. |
