NAME

       gpsbabel - convert and manipulate waypoints, tracks, and routes between formats.

SYNOPSIS

       gpsbabel [-iofFxsh] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes from one format to another. GPSBabel also downloads and
       uploads waypoints, tracks, and routes to and from a GPS receiver (such as those by Garmin and Magellan)
       connected by a serial or USB port.

       By flattening the Tower of Babel that the authors of various programs for manipulating GPS data have
       imposed upon us, it returns to us the ability to freely move our own waypoint data between the programs
       and hardware we choose to use.

       It contains extensive data manipulation abilities making it a convenient for server-side processing or as
       the backend for other tools.

OPTIONS

       GPSBabel accepts the following options and processes them in order from left to right. Additional options
       are documented in the docbook help.

       -i format
           Use format as the type of file to read.

       -f name
           Use name as the filename to read.

       -o format
           Use format as the type of file to write.

       -F name
           Use name as the filename to write.

       -x filter
           Invoke an internal filter on the data.

       -s
           Generate short names for waypoints on output.

       -h [format]
           Display help that is more exhaustive than this page. If format is given, provide help for only that
           format.

       Lists of filters and formats are given in the doc at /usr/share/doc/gpsbabel/.
