[sites=sitesfile] [port=/dev/gps]
DESCRIPTION
s.in.garmin.sh allows the user to import waypoint, route and track data
from a locally connected Garmin GPS receiver via the
gpstrans
program by Carsten Tschach.
Use at your own risk. This software comes with absolutely no warranty.
Flags:
- -v
- verbose output (version info)
- -w
- upload Waypoints
- -r
- upload Routes
- -t
- upload Track
- -k
- do not attempt projection transform from WGS84
-
Parameters:
- sites=sitesfile
- name for new sites file (omit for display to stdout)
- port=/dev/gps
- port the Garmin receiver is connected to (Default: /dev/gps)
-
NOTES
If the GPS is set up to output WGS84 Lat/Lon, s.in.garmin.sh will
attempt to automatically transform the positions to the current projection.
In all other cases, no checks are performed for datum, projection and format of data.
You must check for yourself that your receiver, gpstrans and GRASS
use the same map datum and projection.
The automatic transform may be skipped by using the -k flag.
If you wish to use latitude-longitude input, the user should setup gpstrans
as follows before running s.in.garmin.sh:
$ gpstrans -s
datum: 100 (WGS84)
format: 2 - lat/lon ddd.ddddd
