NAME

       gpxlogger - Tool to connect to gpsd and generate a GPX file

SYNOPSIS

       gpxlogger [OPTIONS] [server[:port[:device]]]

       gpxlogger -h

       gpxlogger -V

DESCRIPTION

       gpslogger program collects fixes from gpsd and logs them to standard output in GPX format,
       an XML profile for track logging. It does not need to run as root, but can run as root.

       The output may be composed of multiple tracks. A new track is created if there’s no fix
       written for an interval specified by the -i or --interval option and defaulting to 5
       seconds.

       gpxlogger can use any of the export methods that gpsd supports. For a list of these
       methods, use the -l or --exports option. To force a method, give the -e, --export option
       folloed by one of the colon-terminated method names from the -l, --exports table.

OPTIONS

       -?, -h, --help
           Print a summary of options and then exit.

       -d, --daemonize
           Run as a daemon in background. It requires the -f, --output option, which directs
           output to a specified logfile.

       -D LVL, --debug LVL
           Sets the debug level, it is primarily for troubleshooting. It enables various progress
           messages to standard error.

       -e METHOD, --export METHOD
           If D-Bus support is available on the host, GPSD is configured to use it, and -e dbus,
           or --export dbus is specified, this program listens to DBUS broadcasts from gpsd via
           org.gpsd.fix.

           With -e sockets, or if sockets is the method defaulted to, you may give a
           [server[:port[:device]]] specification as arguments. See the ARGUMENTS section below
           for more details.

           With -e shm, --export shm this program will listen to the local gpsd using shared
           memory.

       -F INFILE, --filein INFILE
           Read gpsd JSON from file INFILE, instead of from a gpsd daemon.

       -g, --garmin
           Enable Garmin extensions to GPX format. This allows depth to also be logged in the gpx
           output. Not compatible with Google maps.

       -i SECONDS, --interval SECONDS
           A new track is created if there’s no fix written for an interval of SECONDS.
           Defaulting to 5 seconds.

       -l, --exports
           List all possible options for -e, --export.

       -m MINMOVE, --minmove MINMOVE
           Sets a minimum move distance in meters (it may include a fractional decimal part).
           Motions shorter than this will not be logged.

       -o OUTFILE, --output OUTFILE
           Output the GPX logg to file file OUTFILE, instead of to stdout..

       -r, --reconnect
           Retry when GPSd loses the fix. Without -r, gpxlogger would quit in this case.

       -V, --version
           Dump the package version and exit.

ARGUMENTS

       By default, clients collect data from the local gpsd daemon running on localhost, using
       the default GPSD port 2947. The optional argument to any client may override this
       behavior: [server[:port[:device]]]

       For further explanation, and examples, see the ARGUMENTS section in the gps(1) man page

RETURN VALUES

       0
           on success.

       1
           on failure
