downloading works but converting does not
after fooling around with bt747 (dev) i got into position where i can download the track from my fresh holux m1200e but converting fails with an error message. if i supply bin file generated by mtkbabel it also fails, although mtkbabel produces readable gpx file.
any idea welcome. thanks, joe

i found out that i can read and convert bin files produced by bt747 using mtkbabel when the '-x' flag is used
Hi Jose In BT747, did you set
Hi Jose
In BT747, did you set the correct device type (on the far right of the convert button). In your case it is probably a Holux GR245 type of format.
If you still do not get correct results, you can send me the bin file (bt747 at bt747 dot org).
thank you, seems to work
thank you, seems to work
Hi I have same problem but
Hi
I have same problem but symptoms are different. I am able to download the bin file but converting to gpx or any other format just burns my cpu but nothing happens. The device I am using is iBlue 747A+.
Problem solved. My bin log
Problem solved. My bin log file had .txt postfix. I changed that to bin and used default device and it now it is working
For that device, you just
For that device, you just leave the device type to 'default'.
Then you have to check the filter settings. For a trial make sure that the common filter is not active and that all the fields of the track filter are ticked. Then you should get a result.
If you see a track on the map in BT747 but you can not create files, then the issue is probably that the destination path does not exist or is not writeable. The error messages that I create in that case are not very explicit unfortunately (which is mainly due to legacy of the possibilities on the SuperWaba platform).
Same problem here.
Same problem here. "BT747_J2SE_Latest_RXTX2.2_Install.jnlp" is the only program that runs on my MacBook Pro (10.6.2), and it tells me the .bin file does not contain any tracks. The device is set to "iBlue... Holux" for my M241. All the other progs do abort with "Programm kann nicht gestartet werden". Strange, this, because some months ago it *did* work...
Thanks for reporting the
Thanks for reporting the issue.
I tested the different links on a recent computer and I get some fails too.
It seems that Java versions higher than 1.6_0_07 are broken as far as the java version specification is concerned. Therefore, I'll remove that from the jnlp files.
The conversion issue is another thing. do check the 'filter tab' so make sure that everything is set correctly. If you've been mixing the 1.X and 2.X versions it looks like that can get messed up.
I fixed one jnlp file, the
I fixed one jnlp file, the others were ok (on my system). I also check lauching using the Java1.5 version (http://soft.bt747.org/BT747_J2SE_RXTX2.2_Install_1.5.jnlp for 1.68.32 and http://soft.bt747.org/BT747_J2SE_Latest_RXTX2.2_Install_1.5.jnlp for the 2.X.* version) - that both works.
If you can't resolve your conversion issue by adjusting the filter, you can send me the track.
I don't really understand how
I don't really understand how I can mix two versions. Are we talking about Java versions? However, the version for 1.68.32 does not start, and the version for 2.X does start, but again does not want to convert.
Ah sorry, there is somethin else: When I "disconnect" the bluetooth connection, the whole thing crashes and complains "was ended unexpectedly when using the plug-in librxtxSerial.jnilib".
How would I transfer the .bin file? There's no rush, I am still able to work with my old PowerBook, things work nicely there.
Thanks a lot in advance!
The bluetooth disconnection
The bluetooth disconnection crash has been reproduced by other people too, but I can not identify the issue itself - it seems to be inside RXTX.
Can you post the exact failing link for 1.68.32 here - can you get the error message.
You can send the bin file to my email in the 'About' box of the app or to bt747 a-t bt747 dot org.

Conversion works now (with 2.X). I tried with the .bin generated with V1.46 of 2008, and it didn't work either -- that made me suspicious. I tried conversion with the buttons labelled "GPX" or "HTML" -- not good. But as soon as I choose "GPX" from the drop-down list and "Holux M241" from the drop-down list to the right ("Device"), it works. "Default" does not work.
Sorry for the confusion!
Hi If you have a Holux M241,
Hi
If you have a Holux M241, 'Default' does not always work. Sometimes the log gives a hint about the device type, sometimes does not.
Regarding the jnlp. I actually forgot the reason. Mac does not like the 'version' specification of java the way it is. If I remove the version specification, I also have to remove the memory heap specification. So really, the way java webstart is on mac is 'the' issue - AFAIKS I respect the JNLP specification.
So for the moment, use that working link. I have to think about another method to get these jnlp's distributed and surely improve the web page for that.
