DESCRIPTION

40       v.in.garmin allows the user to import waypoint, route, and  track  data
41       from  a  locally connected Garmin GPS receiver via the gpstrans program
42       by Carsten Tschach.
43
44       Use at your own risk. This software comes with absolutely no warranty.

NOTES

47       If the GPS is set up to output WGS84 Lat/Lon, v.in.garmin will  attempt
48       to  automatically  transform the coordinates to the current projection.
49       In all other cases, no checks are performed for datum,  projection  and
50       format  of  data.   You  must  check  for  yourself that your receiver,
51       gpstrans and GRASS use the same map datum and  projection.   The  auto‐
52       matic transform may be skipped by using the -k flag.
53
54       Route  and  Track  data may be uploaded as points by using the -p flag,
55       otherwise they will be imported as a line. You can run v.in.garmin mul‐
56       tiple  times and merge the line and point vectors with the v.patch com‐
57       mand if you want, but  take  care  when  merging  dissimilar  attribute
58       tables.
59
60       Before  running  v.in.garmin,  gpstrans  should be set up as follows to
61       output latitude-longitude:
62       $ gpstrans -s
63       datum:  100 (WGS84)
64       format: 2 - lat/lon  ddd.ddddd
