CompeGPS data files are those read and written by the
<span class="productname">CompeGPS</span>™ TwoNav software (running on a Mac, a PC,
or on select cell phones) as well as  CompeGPS Land, and CompeGPS Air.  
These files are also used by the CompeGPS TwoNav Aventura and TwoNav Sportiva GPS receivers when they are in mass storage mode.
</p><p>
Release 6.1 of CompeGPS Land and CompeGPS Air added GPX as an import export format for waypoints, routes, and tracks.   As GPX is a more heavily used format, you should probably use that for new applications.

      Index of route/track to write (if more than one in source).
    </p><p>
Because this format supports only one route or track, this option may be used 
on output to select a single route or track from a collection of routes and
tracks read from a more expressive format.  If you have, say, a 
<a class="link" href="fmt_gpx.html" title="GPX XML (gpx)">gpx</a> file that contains two routes, you may
use this option to write them one at a time to individual files.
