Parameters:
- input=name [required]
- Device or file used to import data
- output=name [required]
- Name for output vector map
- format=string
- GPSBabel supported output format
- Default: gpx
- proj=string
- Projection of input data (PROJ.4 style), if not set Lat/Lon WGS84 is assumed
v.in.gps allows the user to import waypoint, route, and track
data from a locally connected GPS receiver or a text file containing
GPS data of many common formats. Translation is done via the
GPSBabel program.
This software is not intended as a primary means of navigation.
v.in.gps automatically reprojects data using the
projection settings of the current location.
The default input data projection is lat/lon WGS84. If your GPS outputs data
using another projection or map datum, you may include the
PROJ
parameters defining your projection in the
proj option and
v.in.gps will reproject your data accordingly.
Great care must be taken to get these parameters correct!
The automatic transform may be skipped by using the
-k flag in which
case the data will be imported unprojected, as it appears in the
input.
Route and Track data may be uploaded as a series of points by using the -p
flag, otherwise they will be imported as lines. You can run v.in.gps
multiple times and merge the line and point vectors with the v.patch
command if you want, but take care when merging dissimilar attribute tables.
Import waypoints, tracks, routes from /dev/ttyUSB0 and save
to a GRASS vector map:
v.in.gps -w input=/dev/ttyUSB0 format=garmin output=waypoints
v.in.gps -t input=/dev/ttyUSB0 format=garmin output=tracks
v.in.gps -r input=/dev/ttyUSB0 format=garmin output=routes
Import waypoint data from a Garmin GPS connected at /dev/ttyS0 and save
to a GRASS vector map named
waypoints:
v.in.gps -w input=/dev/ttyS0 format=garmin output=waypoints
Import track data from a GPX text file and save to a GRASS vector map
named
tracks.
v.in.gps -t input=gpslog.gpx format=gpx output=tracks
Import route data as a series of points from a Garmin GPS connected at
/dev/gps and save to a GRASS vector map named
routePoints:
v.in.gps -r -p file=/dev/gps format=garmin output=routePoints
