[Digikam-devel] Digikam plugin for GPS image tagging

[Alexios Beveratos]

Gilles

I see that you had alreadyy implemeted the 1st point. good

the usage is the following

gpsbabel -t -i geo -f /tmp/geocaching.loc -o gpx -F /tmp/geocaching.gpx

-t : We would like to download track points (i am pretty sure it is
-t. otherwise it should be -w for waypoitns, but I will check)

-i : input format. It is user selectable.
-f : the input file. it can be a /dev/gps. For exemple this works for
Garmin GPS. You can directly read

-o : output format

-F : output file. It can be a tmp file

I will check wich output format is the easiest to use and will tell you (I
think tha gpspoint format is quite handy)
