- -uw, --upload-waypoints
- upload waypoints
- -ur, --upload-routes

- -t, --test

- -h, --help

OPTIONS(S)
- -d port
- port, e.g. /dev/ttyS0; the default port is /dev/gps, which is overwritten by the environment variable GPSPORT, finally giving option -p port overwrites both former methods
- -if, --input-file filename
- read from filename instead from stdin
- -of, --output-file filename
- write to filename instead to stdout (overwrites existing files)
SIGNALS
gpspoint responds to SIGTERM (usually invoked by CTRL-C ) and tries to terminate current data exchange graciously; useful if some download is taking too long.Stopping gpspoint with other methods might leave the port locked and the receiver in a state where it will not response. You can then use the -at command or reset it by hand of course.
ENVIRONMENT
- GPSPORT
- see option -d port and examples
EXAMPLES
- gpspoint -t -d /dev/ttyS0
- tries to connec to to a (gramin) gps receiver on /dev/ttyS0 and prints out some helpful information, probably a good thing to start with
- gpspoint -dw -d /dev/ttyS0 -of my_waypoints.gpd
- downloads the waypoints from your gps and stores them in my_waypoints.gpd
- gpspoint -dw -d /dev/ttyS0
- same as above but writes to stdout
- gpspoint -dw -dr -dt
- downloads waypoints, routes and tracks; if set the environment variable GPSPORT is evaluated for port; otherwise a default value will be used
- gpspoint -uw -dr -d /dev/ttyS0 -if my_waypoints.gpd -of tracks.gpd
- uploads waypoints stored in the file my_waypoints.gpd and download all tracks and stores them in the file tracks.gpd
