I need to cut off the end of a file. I tried to download GPS speedreader but I get this page and nothing seems to work ( although I did get Java. Any suggestions?

Are you on a PC or Mac?

If I recall I just pulled the gosspeedreader.exe file out of the Windows zip file and plonked it in a convenient folder. Then created a shortcut to it.

You can edit gpx files with any text editor. Just a tedious job to find the bits to remove.

Dur. Ok. Thanks I'll try that tomorrow.
I didn't realise you had to select a box. That's probably why the download didn't work.

I'd just drop the .exe file onto the desktop.

Yep, then add that to the Taskbar for quick an easy access.

Figured it out. Thanks. I found a different page on the internet that had a better download link and figured out how to add it to the taskbar.

Nice one! Glad you managed to find a working link and get it set up. Always feels good when a tricky download finally clicks into place.
