I have take a look into your file. The only way to read it is to use GPSBalbel 
program. Do you know ?

http://www.gpsbabel.org

To be compatible with a large GPS device file format, I think it's the better 
way. I need to convert the original GPS file data to another standard one, 
witch will provide an unique file data parser in plugin.

Achim, is gpsbabel is availalble for Debian. There is no license problem to 
use it.

Note : GPSBabel is not a library. this is want mean that you will add a 
run-time depency with this plugin, like we do with ImageMagick and dcraw.

It's right for you ?
