NAME

       QLandkarteGT - GPS mapping (GeoTiff and vector) and GPSr management

SYNOPSIS

       qlandkartegt [ -d | --debug ] [ -h | --help ] -m FD | --monitor=FD ] [ -n | --no-splash ] [ files...  ]

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-indepen-
       dent 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  cur-
	      rently  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.
