## NAME

v.in.garmin.sh - Import GPS data from garmin receiver into GRASS binary vector file
(GRASS Script)

## SYNOPSIS

v.in.garmin.sh
v.in.garmin.sh -h
v.in.garmin.sh name=vectorfile port=/dev/gps -v -w -r -t -u

## DESCRIPTION

v.in.garmin.sh allows to import waypoint, route and track data from a locally connected garmin gps receiver via the gpstrans program of Carsten Tschach.

Use at your own risk. This software comes with absolutely no warranty.

No checks are performed for datum, projection and format of data. You must check by yourself that your receiver, gpstrans and GRASS use the same map datum and projection (this means as it is now that you can only use a GRASS database in lat/lon projection and in wgs84 datum).

### Parameters:

name=vectorfile
  name for new binary vector file
port=/dev/gps
  port garmin receiver is connected to
-v
  verbose output
-w
  upload Waypoints
-r
  upload Routes
-t
  upload Track
-u
  run v.support on new binary vector file
-h
  print this message
