+GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes from one format to another,
+whether that format is a common mapping format like Delorme, Streets and
+Trips, or even a serial or USB upload or download to a GPS receiver such as
+those from Garmin and Magellan.  By flattening the Tower of Babel that the
+authors of various programs for manipulating GPS data have imposed upon us, it
+returns to us the ability to freely move our own waypoint data between the
+programs and hardware we choose to use.
+
+It contains extensive data manipulation abilities making it a convenient for
+server-side processing or as the backend for other tools.
+
+It does not convert, transfer, send, or manipulate maps. We process data that
+may (or may not be) placed on a map, such as waypoints, tracks, and routes.
