track_points
Geometry type: fme_point
Feature Attribute | Description |
---|---|
course | Course of travel, in degrees. Exposed for reading only. |
ele | Elevation in meters. |
fix |
Type of GPS fix. Valid values are none 2d 3d dgps pps |
hdop | Horizontal dilution of precision. |
pdop | Position dilution of precision. |
sat | Number of satellites. |
speed | Speed of travel, in knots. Exposed for reading only. |
time |
Creation date and time. Note that while the NMEA 0183 format supports milliseconds, the NMEA Reader currently does not have support for reading milliseconds. Milliseconds are rounded to the nearest second. Format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS |
track_fid |
ID of the track feature to which the point belongs. |
track_seg_id |
ID of the track segment to which the point belongs. |
track_seg_point_id |
ID of the point. |
vdop | Vertical dilution of precision. |
tracks
Geometry type: fme_aggregate of lines
There are no attributes specific to tracks. The reader exposes tracks as a convenience only.
waypoints
Geometry type: fme_point
Feature Attribute | Description |
---|---|
cmt | Comment for the waypoint. |
desc |
Description of the waypoint. |
ele |
Elevation, in meters. |
name |
Name of the point waypoint (6 characters maximum). If the name is too long, GPSBabel attempts to reduce the length to 6 characters first by removing vowels and spaces, and then by truncating the name. If not provided, the name is WPTXXX, where XXX is an auto-incrementing counter. If names are not unique, duplicate names will be created by replacing the last two characters with x, where x is an auto-incrementing counter. |
sym |
Name of the symbol for the point. If not provided, the default is “Waypoint”. The name must be a recognized Garmin icon name. “Bell” is used for unrecognized symbol names. For a list of valid symbol names, refer to garmin_tables.c in the GPSBabel source code. The source for GPSBabel is available at http://www.gpsbabel.org. |
time | Creation date/time, in UTC |
