When this option is zero, no labels are added for track and route points. This option defaults to one, so
labels are added by default.
max_position_points option
Retain at most this number of position points (0 = unlimited).
This option allows you to specify the number of points kept in the 'snail trail' generated in the realtime
tracking mode.
Google Maps XML (google)
This format can...
• read tracks
This format is designed to read the XML emitted when you tack "&output=js" onto the end of a Google
Maps [http://www.maps.google.com>Google Maps]route URL (use the "link to this page" option to get a
usable URL.) This allows you to plan a route using Google Maps, then download it and use it in your own
mapping program or GPS receiver. To get a file suitable for use with GPSBabel, plan your route as usual
with Google Maps. Once you've got it the way you want it, click the "Link to this page" link in the upper
right-hand corner of the Google Maps page. Then, edit the URL that appears in your address bar by adding
"&output=js" (without the quotes) onto the end. Hit enter, and the resulting page will be mostly empty.
It doesn't look like much, but it contains exactly what GPSBabel needs. Save it to disk using whatever
menu option your web browser provides.
Note that if you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, you should make sure to save the web page as "Web
Page, HTML Only". If you save it as "Web Page, Complete", it will be reformatted into a non-XHTML
format that GPSBabel cannot read.
If you use a Unix-compatible operating system, this shell script might be useful:
#!/bin/sh
FROM="233 S. Upper Wacker Dr, Chicago, IL"
TO="1060 W. Addison St, Chicago, IL"
wget -O - "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=$FROM to $TO&output=js" \
2&>/dev/null >google_map.js
gpsbabel -i google -f google_map.js -o gpx -F google_map.gpx
GpilotS (gpilots)
This format can...
• read and write waypoints
This is a Palm/OS file format for GPilotS [http://www.cru.fr/perso/cc/GPilotS/]. It was tested against ver-
sion 6.2 of GPilotsS
Neither tracks nor routes are supported at this time.
dbname option
