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.
