This software provides command-line tools designed to efficiently manipulate GPX files, allowing users to easily manage and modify GPS data in a streamlined manner. With a variety of functions and tools available, users can quickly edit, analyze and visualize GPS data.
If you're looking to manage your GPX files efficiently, gpxtools is a command-line tool that simplifies the task. It consists of three main tools which are gpx-elevation-fix, gpx-cleanup, and gpx-compress, each with its own specific functionality.
Do you have issues with the elevation (Z-axis) data in your GPX files? The gpx-elevation-fix tool can easily fix them based on SRTM data. If your GPX files contain unnecessary data such as speed or course, gpx-cleanup can remove them, making your files more compact. gpx-compress also eliminates unnecessary characters, such as white spaces, to further decrease the size of your GPX files.
Using the tools is quite simple. Just type in the command name, followed by the options you'd like to use. You can use either the input or output file options to specify the name of the GPX file. If these options are not set, stdin and stdout respectively, will be used. Additionally, commands can be cascaded with the pipe symbol (|) to further refine your GPX file.
To install gpxtools, you will need GDAL python bindings installed on your system. This package utilizes the GDAL library, which can be built from source or installed from a binary package. Check out the GDAL library homepage for more information. The package also requires lxml, and you can build it using the plone.recipe.lxml buildout recipe.
For easy installation via easy_install, enter $ easy_install gpxtools in your command line, or use the buildout option by saving the script in the buildout.cfg file and running the appropriate commands. Once installed, you will find the commands in the bin subdirectory. Overall, gpxtools is a useful tool for anyone in need of GPX file management.
