NAME¶

v.out.gpsbabel - Exports a vector map to a GPS receiver or file format supported by GpsBabel.

KEYWORDS¶

vector, export, GPS

SYNOPSIS¶

v.out.gpsbabel v.out.gpsbabel help v.out.gpsbabel [-wrt] input=string [type=string[, string,...]] output=name [format=string] [layer=integer] [where=string] [-- verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:¶

-w

 

Export as waypoints

-r

 

Export as routes

-t

 

Export as tracks

--verbose

 

Verbose module output

--quiet

 

Quiet module output

Parameters:¶

input=string

 

Name of input vector map

type=string[,string,...]

 

Feature type(s)

 

Options: point,centroid,line,boundary

output=name

 

Name for output file or GPS device

format=string

 

GpsBabel supported output format

 

Default: gpx

layer=integer

 

Layer number

 

A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use.

 

Default: 1

where=string

 

WHERE conditions of SQL statement without 'where' keyword

 

Example: income = 10000

DESCRIPTION¶

v.out.gpsbabel allows the user to export waypoint, route, and track data from a vector map into a locally connected GPS receiver or as a file in many common GPS data formats. Translation is done via the GpsBabel program. Do not use as a primary means of navigation. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License (GPL) for more details.

NOTES¶

v.out.gpsbabel automatically reprojects data from the projection settings of the current location to Lat/Lon WGS84. GPX format is used for data interchange between GRASS and GpsBabel. If the requested output is GPX, then gpsbabel is never run. OGR's GPX driver knows a number of standard field names. If an attribute column matches the name it will be used in that field. Otherwise the attribute will be placed within the metadata section of the record. Not all fields names are used with all feature types (e.g. DOP fix error is not meaningful for route lines). You can use the v.db.renamecol module to rename columns. These are the standard GPX data fields known to OGR: ageofdgpsdata cmt: Comment course desc dgpsid: DGPS station type ele: Elevation fix geoidheight hdop: Horizontal dillution of precision (estimated fix error) magvar: Magnetic variation name number pdop: Positional dillution of precision (estimated fix error) route_fid route_point_id sat speed src sym time track_fid track_seg_id track_seg_point_id type url urlname vdop: Vertical dillution of precision (estimated fix error)

EXAMPLES¶

GPX Export¶

Export a vector lines map to a GPX track file: v.out.gpsbabel -t input=trail output=trail.gpx

GPS device connected via USB adapter¶

Export vector maps named waypoints, tracks, routes to a Garmin GPS connected to /dev/ttyUSB0: v.out.gpsbabel -w input=waypoints format=garmin output=/dev/ttyUSB0 v.out.gpsbabel -t input=tracks format=garmin output=/dev/ttyUSB0 v.out.gpsbabel -r input=routes format=garmin output=/dev/ttyUSB0
