NAME
v.out.gpsbabel - Exports a vector map to a GPS receiver or file format supported by GpsBabel.
KEYWORDS
vector, export, GPS
SYNOPSIS
v.out.gpsbabel
v.out.gpsbabel help
v.out.gpsbabel [-wrt] input=string [type=string[,string,...]] output=name [format=string] [layer=integer] [where=string] [--verbose] [--quiet]
Flags:
- -w
- Export as waypoints
- -r
- Export as routes
- -t
- Export as tracks
- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
Parameters:
- input=string
- Name of input vector map
- type=string[,string,...]
- Feature type(s)
- Options: point,centroid,line,boundary
- output=name
- Name for output file or GPS device
- format=string
- GpsBabel supported output format
- Default: gpx
- layer=integer
- Layer number
- A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use.
- Default: 1
- where=string
- WHERE conditions of SQL statement without 'where' keyword
- Example: income < 1000 and inhab >= 10000
DESCRIPTION
v.out.gpsbabel allows the user to export waypoint, route, and track
data from a vector map into a locally connected GPS receiver or as a file in
many common GPS data formats. Translation is done via the
GpsBabel program.
Do not use as a primary means of navigation.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the

NOTES
v.out.gpsbabel automatically reprojects data from the
projection settings of the current location to Lat/Lon WGS84.
GPX format is used for data interchange between GRASS and GpsBabel.
If the requested output is GPX, then gpsbabel is never run.
OGR's GPX driver knows a number of standard field names. If an attribute
column matches the name it will be used in that field. Otherwise the
attribute will be placed within the <extensions> metadata
section of the record. Not all fields names are used with all feature
types (e.g. DOP fix error is not meaningful for route lines). You can
use the v.db.renamecol module to rename columns.
These are the standard GPX data fields known to OGR:
ageofdgpsdata
cmt: Comment
course
desc
dgpsid: DGPS station type
ele: Elevation
fix
geoidheight
hdop: Horizontal dillution of precision (estimated fix error)
magvar: Magnetic variation
name
number
pdop: Positional dillution of precision (estimated fix error)
route_fid
route_point_id
sat
speed
src
sym
time
track_fid
track_seg_id
track_seg_point_id
type
url
urlname
vdop: Vertical dillution of precision (estimated fix error)
EXAMPLES
GPX Export
Export a vector lines map to a GPX track file:
v.out.gpsbabel -t input=trail output=trail.gpx
GPS device connected via USB adapter
Export vector maps named waypoints, tracks, routes to a Garmin GPS
connected to /dev/ttyUSB0:
v.out.gpsbabel -w input=waypoints format=garmin output=/dev/ttyUSB0
v.out.gpsbabel -t input=tracks format=garmin output=/dev/ttyUSB0
v.out.gpsbabel -r input=routes format=garmin output=/dev/ttyUSB0
