NAME

Track - Searches for caches by using GPS track data

DESCRIPTION

START HELP

   > geoqo -s track:mytrackfile.gpx -d count:
   Search/Set Count: 3
 
 

The track plugin loads track data from a GPX track file (which you can retrieve from you gps using gpsbabel) and then compares the list of caches in you database to this data. It then matches all caches where your speed dropped below a configurable speed (3MPH is the default) and where the distance from the track is less than a configurable amount (defaults to near 500 feet).

This is even more useful when combined with the Track modify plugin, which can order caches based on the track and report the times you found them as well.

If you know all the caches are in a given set, however, you should probably limit the data it has to search through to a subset of you total database if it runs slowly.

To get track data from the gps, use gpsbabel:

   gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F track.gpx
 
 

See the Modify/Track plugin for a detailed example
