.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIQLandkarteGT\fR is a versatile tool for GPS maps in GeoTiff format as well as
Garmin's img vector map format. \fIQLandkarteGT\fR is the successor of \fIQLandkarte\fR.
Among various improvements (e.g. 2D/3D map rendering and reduced resource
demands) the major difference is its device-independent architecture, which is
not limited to Garmin devices anymore.
.PP
Additionally, \fIQLandkarteGT\fR serves as a frontend to the GDAL tools, to make
georeferencing of scanned maps feasible for users. In contrast to similar tools
(e.g. QGis) its straightforward interface is especially suited for
non-scientific users.
.SH OPTIONS
\fIQLandkarteGT\fR currently understands the following options.
Note that long options must be specified in full (by now).

.BI \-\-monitor= FD
Monitor the file descriptor \fIFD\fR for activity.
If any new data arrives on the descriptor, a single byte is read
from it, all currently active data are discarded,
and the geo data files that have been specified at the
end of the command-line when starting \fIQLandkarteGT\fR are read
and evaluated again.
.TP
.B \-n
.TP
.B \-\-no-splash
Do not display the splash screen on startup.
.PP
All remaining positional arguments are considered names of geo data files
to be read and evaluated upon startup.
