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.

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.
