This format reads the raw binary format created by the MTK Windows application
and outputs to other formats  supported by GPSBabel
When using the csv option a MTK application compatible output file will also be created.</p><p>
It has been tested with <span class="productname">Transystem i-Blue 747</span>™ but other devices should
work as well (Qstarz BT-Q1000, iTrek Z1, ...)
</p><p>
All position items (including button push) will be listed as trackpoints in the output. 
Log items due to button push are presented as waypoints. 
In theory we would not add waypoints to the list of trackpoints. But as the MTK logger restart the 
log session from the button press we would loose a trackpoint unless we include/duplicate it.

  Specifies a filename into which  MTK-compatible CSV output will be written.

  Note that this option is a bit of an oddity in the GPSBabel arsenal.  This
  should probably be a "real" output type of its own instead of being bolted
  onto an input type.
