Can't recognize my logger file format. Logger BTGP-38KM

The binary file you provided doesn't appear to be supported by GPSBabel, which is the underlying technology used by GPSLogLabs to parse log files. See http://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-1.4.2/The_Formats.html for a list of formats and devices it currently supports.

Searching on the web I was unable to find details of which chipset the BTGP-38KM uses, and reverse engineering the file format is something you'd have to approach the GPSBabel developers about: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=gpsbabel-misc

Unfortunately, the KML file doesn't include enough data to be used either. It contains a list of latitude and longitude pairs with no time information (in the section) and only timestamps for the start and finish markers (in the tags). It may be possible to convert that to a CSV file which can be uploaded, but that is something that would vary for every user (e.g. the time between each logged point may be different) and you would have to look into doing that yourself.

Hopefully your logger software supports exporting to another format, such as GPX, which you can use.

BTGP-38KM uses the SiRF-III Chipset

Description :

BTGP-38KM, a high-tech product combines the advanced Bluetooth technology and GPS technology. Through, Bluetooth technology, you can receive and storage GPS data through intelligent mobile phone, PDA, laptop and desktop. Can be used for location、navigation、read the history of track records, and other applications.

Hi,

I think I have the same logger! I still couldn't find out its native format, however, www.gpsvisualizer.com converts it to .kml flawlessly (it even retains elevation data!)
