DESCRIPTION

gpsfetchmap is a program to download maps from a mapserver for use with gpsdrive.

SYNOPSIS

Common usages:

gpsfetchmap -la <latitude MM.DDDD> -lo <latitude MM.DDDD> -sc <SCALE>
-a <#> -p
gpsfetchmap -sla <start latitude MM.DDDD> -endla <end latitude MM.DDDD>
-slo <start longitude MM.DDDD> -endlo <end longitude MM.DDDD> -sc
<SCALE> -a <#> -p
gpsfetchmap -sc <SCALE> -a <#> -r <WAYPOINT 1> <WAYPOINT 2> ... <WAYPOINT n> -p

OPTIONS

-w, --waypoint <WAYPOINT NAME>

Takes a waypoint name and uses the latitude and longitude for
that waypoint as the centerpoint of the area to be covered.
Waypoints are read from 'way.txt', or file defined by '-W'.
the special name gpsd asks your local gpsd where your gps
thinks you are and uses this point as center. This, '-la' and '-lo', '-sla', '-ela', '-slo' and '-elo' or '-a' is required.
A special name is gpsd this waypoint asks your gps where you
currently are.

-la, --lat <latitude DD.MMMM>

Takes a latitude in format DD.MMMM and uses that as the latitude for the centerpoint of the area to be covered. Will be
overriden by the latitude of waypoint if '-w' is used. This and '-lo', '-w' or '-sla', '-ela', '-slo', '-elo' is required.

-lo, --lon <longitude DD.MMMM>

Takes a longitude in format DD.MMMM and uses that as the longitude for the centerpoint of the area to be covered. Will be
overriden by the longitude of waypoint if '-w' is used. This
and '-la', '-w' or '-sla', '-ela', '-slo', '-elo' is required.

-sla --start-lat <start latitude DD.MMMM>

Takes a latitude in format DD.MMMM and uses that as the start
latitude for the area to be covered. Will override '-la' and
'-lo' but will be overriden by '-w'. This, '-ela', '-slo' and
'-elo' or '-w' or '-la' and '-lo' is required.

-ela --end-lat <end latitude DD.MMMM>

Takes a latitude in format DD.MMMM and uses that as the end
latitude for the area to be covered. Will override '-la' and
'-lo' but will be overriden by '-w'. This, '-sla', '-slo' and '-elo' or '-w' or '-la' and '-lo' is required.

-slo --start-lon <start longitude DD.MMMM>

Takes a longitude in format DD.MMMM and uses that as the start longitude for the area to be covered. Will override '-la' and
'-lo' but will be overriden by '-w'. This, '-sla', '-ela' and
'-elo' or '-w' or '-la' and '-lo' is required.

-elo --end-lon <end longitude DD.MMMM>

Takes a longitude in format DD.MMMM and uses that as the end
longitude for the area to be covered. Will override '-la' and
'-lo' but will be overriden by '-w'. This, '-sla', '-ela' and
'-slo' or '-w' or '-la' and '-lo' is required.

-sc, --scale <SCALE>

Scales of map(s) to download. Default: 50000.

Formats:

'####'
- Just this scale.

'####,####,####'
- All scales in the list. May be combined with other formats.

'>####'
- All scales above and including the number given.

'<####'
- All scales below and including the number given.

'####-####'
- All scales from first to last number given.

-a, --area <#>

Area to cover. # of 'units' size square around the centerpoint. You can use a single number for square area. Or you can use
'#x#' to do a rectangle, where the first number is distance
latitude and the second number is distance of longitude.
'units' is read from the configuration file (-C) or as defined by (-u).

-p, --polite

This causes the program to sleep one second between downloads
to be polite to the mapserver. Takes an optional value of number of seconds to sleep.

--mapserver <MAPSERVER>

Mapserver to download from. Default: 'landsat'. Currently can use: landsat

geoscience, gov_au, incrementp and eniro have download stubs,
but they are !!!NOT!!!! in the right scale.

geoscience

landsat covers the whole world with satelite Photos

gov_au is for Australia

incrementp for japanese Maps

eniro covers:

eniro_se Sweden
eniro_dk Denmark
eniro_no Norway
eniro_fi Finnland

Overview of Area covered by eniro_fi:

http://maps.eniro.com/servlets/fi_MapImageLocator?pro

file=Main&center=26.;62.&zoomlevel=1&size=800x600

-u, --unit <UNIT>

The measurement system to use. Default is read from configuration file <-C>. Possibles are: miles, nautical, kilometers.

--mapdir <DIR>

Override the configfiles mapdir with this value.

-W, --WAYPOINT <FILE>

File to read waypoints from. Default: '~/.gpsdrive/way.txt'.

-t, --track <FILE>

Download maps that are along a saved track. File is a standard track filed saved from GpsDrive.

-r, --route

Download maps that are along a route defined by waypoints. You must give a list of waypoints as parameters separated with
space.

-C, --CONFIG

File to read for GPSDrive configuration information. Default:
'~/.gpsdrive/gpsdriverc'.

-P, --PREFIX <PREFIX>

Takes a prefix string to be used as the start of all saved map files. Default: "map_".

-F, --FORCE

Force program to download maps without asking you to confirm
the download.

-n Dont download anything only tell which maps are missing

-U read map_koord.txt file at Start. Then also check for not down

loaded map_*.gif Files if they need to be appended to
map_koords.txt.

--check-koordfile

Update map_koord.txt: search map Tree if map_*.gif file exist, but cannot be found in map_koords.txt file. This option first
reads the map_koord.txt file and checks every Map in the
filesystem if it also is found in the map_koord.txt file. If
not found it is appended into the map_koord.txt file.

Check map_koord.txt File. This option checks, if every Map also exist If any Map-File is missing, a file map_koord.txt.new will be created. This file can be copied to the original file if
checked.

--check-coverage

See which areas the maps cover. Output is simple ASCII Art

--PROXY Set proxy for mirroring image Files

-d, --debug

Prints debugging information.

-v, --version

Prints version information and exits.

--help -h -x

Prints the usage page and exits.

--MAN -M

Prints the manual page and exits.

Download

When downloading Maps the output reads as folows:

_ Map already exists in Filesystem
E Error while downloading Map
+ Map got downloaded
u updated map_koords.txt File
S Simulate only
