Annotation of qmapshack/gpsprune/pkg/DESCR, Revision 1.1.1.1

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.
