First line for example:

Bytes | Type | Description
0-3 | long | unixtime, 0x4884B5D6 (1216656854) is 19:14:14, 21 Jul 2008
4-7 | float | latitiude, 0x425790A9 is 53.8912696838
8-11 | float | longtitude, 0x41DC68CD is 27.5511722565
12-14 | float* | altitude, 0x4372AA00 is 242.6640625 meters
15 | char | unknown field

* This field contains only 24 bits of 32-bits float value. Just append zero: 0x4372AA -> 0x4372AA00 -> 242.6640625

I believe the next version of gpsbabel (or indeed the current CVS code) has support for this logger already via the mtk input driver (use "-i mtk,m241" as the input format).

gpsbabel(SVN checkout) definitely has support for Holux M-241

A german howto is located at http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/holux-m-241/

But it's nice to see the conciseness of the Program because I'm interested in downloading tracks from my Holux with my mobile phone.
