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.

44 Use at your own risk. This software comes with absolutely no warranty.
45
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
