GPSBabel is a cross-platform, free software to transfer routes, tracks, and waypoint data to and from consumer GPS units, and to convert between over a hundred types of GPS data formats. It also has powerful manipulation tools for such data. It has a command-line interface and a graphical interface for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux users.
