This option causes GPSBabel to write proximity values for waypoints. Most input formats do not support
proximity values, so the default is to not write them.
Garmin MapSource - txt (tab delimited)
(garmin_txt)
This format can...
• read and write waypoints
• read and write tracks
• read and write routes
This is a textual format that contains nearly all of the information contained in the MapSource™ main
format, GDB. This format also contains some computed values such as distances between routepoints and
trackpoints, speed, and course (heading).
The main goal of garmin_txt is to make aviation data more available. Because MapSource™ supports only
the export, GPSBabel gives you the possibility to bring aviation data into MapSource™.
During the export with MapSource™, some fields are written using local settings of MapSource™ and
Windows. These include grid format, gps datum, distance and temperature units, and the representation of
date and time fields. GPSBabel tries to read all items automatically. Problems with date and time format
can be solved with the 'date' and 'time' options.
Example 3.2. Command showing garmin_txt output with all options
gpsbabel -i garmin_txt,date="MM/DD/YYYY",time="hh:mm:ss xx"
-f in.txt -o garmin_txt,date="DD.MM.YYYY",datum="WGS
72",dist=m,prec=6,temp=c,time="HH:mm:ss",utc=+2 -F out.txt
date option
Read/Write date format (i.e. yyyy/mm/dd).
This option specifies the input and output format for the date. The format is written similarly to those in
Windows. An example format is "YYYY/MM/DD".
datum option
GPS datum (def. WGS 84).
This option specifies the datum to be used on output. Valid values for this option are listed in Appendix A,
Supported Datums.
dist option
Distance unit [m=metric, s=statute].
This option specifies the unit to be used when outputting distance values. Valid values are M for metric
(m/km/kph) or S for statute (ft/mi/mph).
