Annotation of qmapshack/gpsprune/pkg/DESCR, Revision 1.1
1.1 ! kirby 1: GpsPrune is an application for viewing, editing and converting
! 2: coordinate data from GPS systems. Basically it's a tool to let you play
! 3: with your GPS data after you get home from your trip.
! 4:
! 5: It can load data from arbitrary text-based formats (for example, any
! 6: tab-separated or comma-separated file) or Xml, or directly from a GPS
! 7: receiver. It can display the data (as map view using openstreetmap
! 8: images and as altitude profile), edit this data (for example delete
! 9: points and ranges, sort waypoints, compress tracks), and save the data
! 10: (in various text-based formats). It can also export data as a Gpx file,
! 11: or as Kml/Kmz for import into Google Earth, or send it to a GPS
! 12: receiver.
! 13:
! 14: Some example uses of GpsPrune include cleaning up tracks by deleting
! 15: wayward points - either recorded by error or by unintended detours. It
! 16: can also be used to compare and combine tracks, convert to and from
! 17: various formats, compress tracks, export data to Google Earth, or to
! 18: analyse data to calculate distances, altitudes and so on.
! 19:
! 20: Furthermore, GpsPrune is able to display the tracks in 3d format and
! 21: lets you spin the model round to look at it from various directions. You
! 22: can also export the model in POV format so that you can render a nice
! 23: picture using Povray. You can also create charts of altitudes or speeds.
! 24: It can also load Jpegs and read their coordinates from the exif tags,
! 25: and export thumbnails of these photos to Kmz format so that they appear
! 26: as popups in Google Earth. If your photos don't have coordinates yet,
! 27: GpsPrune can be used to connect them (either manually or automatically
! 28: using the photo timestamps) to data points, and write these coordinates
! 29: into the exif tags.
