[GRASS-user] v.in.gpsbabel problem

[Mike Dvorak]

Also, I'm confused because on lines 241 and 246 of v.in.gpsbabel, there
are two gpsbabel commands that are not even valid according to the GPS
babel documentation:

% gpsbabel -r -i $GIS_OPT_FORMAT $GPSdevice $PROGVERBOSE -o \
gpx,style="$STYLE" -F "$TMP".gpx

The "-o gpx" command cannot take the "style" option.  I've tried
removing this extraneous style argument but the program still seems to
crash unfortunately.

Cheers,
-Mike
