I only need this USB <--> RS232 converter when away from home which is why I have only just discovered the problem. -------------------------------------------------- Package: gpsbabel Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: utils Installed-Size: 1304 Maintainer: Bernd Zeimetz <b...@debian.org> Architecture: i386 Version: 1.4.2-3 --------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the quick response. I haven't yet looked on KML for anything relevant.
