SYNOPSIS

       v.out.gpsbabel
       v.out.gpsbabel help
       v.out.gpsbabel    [-wrt]    input=string     [type=string[,string,...]]    output=name    [format=string]
       [layer=integer]   [where=string]   [--verbose]  [--quiet]

   Flags:
       -w
           Export as waypoints

       -r
           Export as routes

       -t
           Export as tracks

       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

   Parameters:
       input=string
           Name of input vector map

       type=string[,string,...]
           Feature type(s)
           Options: point,centroid,line,boundary

       output=name
           Name for output file or GPS device

       format=string
           GpsBabel supported output format
           Default: gpx

       layer=integer
           Layer number
           A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which  table
           to use.
           Default: 1

       where=string
           WHERE conditions of SQL statement without 'where' keyword
           Example: income = 10000

DESCRIPTION

       v.out.gpsbabel allows the user to export waypoint, route, and track data from a vector map into a locally
       connected GPS receiver or as a file in many common GPS data formats. Translation is done via the GpsBabel
       program.

       Do  not  use  as  a primary means of navigation.  This program is distributed in the hope that it will be

NOTES

       v.out.gpsbabel  automatically  reprojects  data  from  the projection settings of the current location to
       Lat/Lon WGS84.

       GPX format is used for data interchange between GRASS and GpsBabel.  If the requested output is GPX, then
       gpsbabel is never run.

       OGR's GPX driver knows a number of standard field names. If an attribute column matches the name it  will
       be used in that field. Otherwise the attribute will be placed within the  metadata section of the record.
       Not  all  fields  names  are  used with all feature types (e.g. DOP fix error is not meaningful for route
       lines). You can use the v.db.renamecol module to rename columns.

       These are the standard GPX data fields known to OGR:
       ageofdgpsdata
       cmt:  Comment
       course
       desc
       dgpsid:    DGPS station type
       ele:  Elevation
       fix
       geoidheight
       hdop:      Horizontal dillution of precision (estimated fix error)
       magvar:    Magnetic variation
       name
       number
       pdop:      Positional dillution of precision (estimated fix error)
       route_fid
       route_point_id
       sat
       speed
       src
       sym
       time
       track_fid
       track_seg_id
       track_seg_point_id
       type
       url
       urlname
       vdop:      Vertical dillution of precision (estimated fix error)

EXAMPLES

   GPX Export
       Export a vector lines map to a GPX track file:
       v.out.gpsbabel -t input=trail output=trail.gpx

   GPS device connected via USB adapter
       Export vector maps named waypoints, tracks, routes to a Garmin GPS connected to /dev/ttyUSB0:
       v.out.gpsbabel -w input=waypoints format=garmin output=/dev/ttyUSB0
       v.out.gpsbabel -t input=tracks format=garmin output=/dev/ttyUSB0
       v.out.gpsbabel -r input=routes format=garmin output=/dev/ttyUSB0
