If it doesn't Just Work, show us (here or on the GPSBabel list) a representative GPX file that you're starting with and the kind of NMEA that your reader is looking for. A poem or a song will probably lose some nuance and a machine translation will need some help. Think of it like human language translation: simple ideas familiar to everyone ('I want a glass of water') machine translate very well. If you're converting a pocket query to NMEA, for example, you'll probably get nothing more than dots on the maps where the geocaches are and maybe a GC#. So depending on what's in your GPX file and what kind of NMEA the reader is looking for, your results may vary wildly. Will your colored 'campground' icon be preserved? Probably not. Can it be a line instead of a row of dots? Probably. Can you get something on the screen that shows your hike? Almost certainly. In the abstract, it generally is possible to convert the locational components between the two. Even doing NMEA->NMEA or GPX->GPX, there can be some 'impedance' when moving data between apps or devices. Via extensions, GPX _can_ express most of those things (or, say, Geocaches.) but I've never seen anyone do it. GPX was designed around handheld/outdoor-class GPS receivers from about the turn of the century and is hung around waypoints, tracks, and routes. NMEA can express satellites currently in view, water depth below transducers, mean water temperature, and lots of other zany things. You are free to use it within terms of the GNU Public License.

Both formats are quite expressive 'richer' is in the eye of the beholder. GPSBabel official download Download Page GPSBabel lets you move data between popular GPS systems such as those from Garmin, Magellan or a large number of map programs.
