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  useful,  but  WITHOUT  ANY  WARRANTY;  without  even the implied warranty of

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
