on POSIX- compliant OSes like UNIX and Linux.  Reads and writes of

developer of GPSBabel</a> also contributed to this that 'gpsutil'

	Note that 'gpsutil' is a different format - and program - than the one called <a class="ulink" href="http://www.gpsu.co.uk/index.html" target="_top">GPS Utility</a>; for that one, you should probably use our  <a class="link" href="fmt_pcx.html" title="Garmin PCX5 (pcx)">PCX module</a>.
