DESCRIPTION¶
QLandkarteGT is a versatile tool for GPS maps in GeoTiff format as well
as Garmin's img vector map format.
QLandkarteGT is the successor of
QLandkarte. 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.
Additionally,
QLandkarteGT 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.
OPTIONS¶
QLandkarteGT currently understands the following options. Note that long
options must be specified in full (by now).
- -d
- --debug
- Enable additional debugging messages to standard output.
- -h
- --help
- Print a short option summary, and exit.
- -m FD
- --monitor=FD
- Monitor the file descriptor FD 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 QLandkarteGT are read
and evaluated again.
- -n
- --no-splash
- Do not display the splash screen on startup.
All remaining positional arguments are considered names of geo data files to be
read and evaluated upon startup.
