27.1.4. GPS

27.1.4.1. Convert GPS data

Uses the GPSBabel tool to convert a GPS data file from a range of formats to the GPX standard format.

Parameter

Bezeichnung	Name	Typ	Beschreibung
Input file	INPUT	[file]	File containing the data to convert
Format	FORMAT	[enumeration]	Format of the file to convert, from this list.
Feature type	FEATURE_TYPE	[enumeration] Default: 0	The type of data to convert 0 — Waypoints 1 — Routes 2 — Tracks
Ergebnis	OUTPUT	[vector: any] Default: [Save to temporary file]	Specification of the output GPX file. One of: Save to a Temporary File Save to File…

Ausgaben

Bezeichnung	Name	Typ	Beschreibung
Output layer	OUTPUT_LAYER	[vector: any]	Output layer with data in GPX standard format

Pythoncode

Algorithm ID: native:convertgpsdata

import processing
processing.run("algorithm_id", {parameter_dictionary})

The algorithm id is displayed when you hover over the algorithm in the Processing Toolbox. The parameter dictionary provides the parameter NAMEs and values. See Verarbeitung Algorithmen von der Konsole aus verwenden for details on how to run processing algorithms from the Python console.

27.1.4.2. Convert GPX feature type

Uses the GPSBabel tool to convert GPX features from one type to another (e.g. converting all waypoint features to a route).

Parameter

Bezeichnung	Name	Typ	Beschreibung
Input file	INPUT	[file]	File containing the data to convert
Conversion	CONVERSION	[enumeration] Default: 0	The type of conversion to apply 0 — Waypoints from a route 1 — Waypoints from a track 2 — Routes from waypoints 3 — Tracks from waypoints
Ergebnis	OUTPUT	[vector: point or line] Default: [Save to temporary file]	Specification of the output file. One of: Save to a Temporary File Save to File…
