NAME
gpsbabel - GPS route and waypoint data converter
DESCRIPTION
GPSBabel Version 1.4.3. http://www.gpsbabel.org
Usage:
gpsbabel [options] -i INTYPE -f INFILE [filter] -o OUTTYPE -F OUTFILE gpsbabel [options] -i INTYPE -o OUTTYPE INFILE [filter] OUT-
FILE
Converts GPS route and waypoint data from one format type to another. The input type and filename are specified with the -i INTYPE
and -f INFILE options. The output type and filename are specified with the -o OUTTYPE and -F OUTFILE options. If '-' is used for
INFILE or OUTFILE, stdin or stdout will be used.
In the second form of the command, INFILE and OUTFILE are the first and second positional (non-option) arguments.
INTYPE and OUTTYPE must be one of the supported file types and may include options valid for that file type. For example:
'gpx', 'gpx,snlen=10' and 'ozi,snlen=10,snwhite=1'
(without the quotes) are all valid file type specifications.
OPTIONS
-p Preferences file (gpsbabel.ini)
-s Synthesize shortnames
-r Process route information
-t Process track information
-T Process realtime tracking information
-w Process waypoint information [default]
-b Process command file (batch mode)
-c Character set for next operation
-N No smart icons on output
-x filtername
Invoke filter (placed between inputs and output)
-D level
Set debug level [0]
-l Print GPSBabel builtin character sets and exit
-h, -? Print detailed help and exit
-V Print GPSBabel version and exit
