+ <para>
+ garmin_txt is a format that contains nearly all information as in the MapSource main format, GDB.
+garmin_txt has some computed values like distances between routepoints and trackpoints, speed, and course (heading) in addition to the standard data fields.
+ <para>
+ <para>
+The main goal of garmin_txt is to make aviation data more available. Because
+MapSource supports only the export, GPSBabel gives you the possibility to
+bring aviation data into MapSource.
+ </para>
+During the export with MapSource, some fields are written using local settings
+of MapSource and Windows. These include grid format, gps datum, distance and
+temperature units, and the representation of date and time fields. GPSBabel
+tries to read all items automatically. Problems with date and time format can
+be solved with the options 'date' and 'time'.
