How to make virb edit work with all gpx/nmea files.

Hello, im progammer, nice to meet you all!
I love this software and i want use it with any gpx file like dashware do.
So lets begin to avoid all the problems when import it.

First of all. You need to know that virb match only with GPX 1.1 format and datetime with no milliseconds (what? lets explain.)

- if u have .nmea files convert it in gpx 1.1
- if u have .gpx convert it in gpx 1.1

Usually i use GPSBabel software for this (1,5 mb download) and in interface option of file destinaton check "Target GPX versione for output" and put value 1.1 as show img below.



In most case, if u put this file gpx 1.1 in g-metrix and match the video, u see in the map that location is right, the datetime of location is right, but the calculate value like speed, direction, alt, etc.. is broken.
This is for that the gpx have milliseconds precision if look like this

<trkpt lat="43.482683333" lon="12.214733333">
<ele>286.300000</ele>
<time>2016-09-10T17:09:03.100Z</time>
<course>330.230011</course>
<speed>44.494301</speed>
<geoidheight>0.0</geoidheight>
<fix>dgps</fix>
<sat>11</sat>
<hdop>0.820000</hdop>



So we need to cut the milleseconds points from this file and if the file is bigger its a lot waste of time.

2016-09-10T17:09:03.20Z -> 2016-09-10T17:09:03.20

So u can download GPS track editor ( 7,6 mega) and just open your GPX 1.1 file and save with another name (this software cut the millesconds point for default)

Now the file GPX 1.1 is in second precision.
The video is in in second precision.

And then match works!

hope help.
