gpsbabel does filters and conversion, e.g. for a decent gmapsible track, gpsbabel -i gpx -f bleh.gpx -x simplify,error=.05k -o kml,units=m -F bleh.kml ...now I'm reminded I have a "lag" filter patch sitting around somewhere that does the acceleration points along a straight line thing too, whereas the filters I've found in gpsbabel only deal with the shape of the track. Should dig that up... 't. _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
