Create waypoint files

You can prepare your own list of waypoints and then store into eTrex using GPX file. At this moment there is only possible to convert data from YAML file to GPX. It is also possible to integrate with other (web)apps.

How to use it

  1. Check samples/sample_yaml_pois.yml as a template.

  2. Modify it, add yours POIs.

  3. Run command

generate_garmin_waypoints -y input_file.yml > output.gpx

  1. You can check inter-POI distances using

generate_garmin_waypoints -y input_file.yml -C

Distance conflict does not mean something is wrong. POIs can be close to each other so it is a good idea to have your brain turned on ;)

  1. You can change inter-POI distances using ‘latlon something’ distance for distance checking explained line before.

generate_garmin_waypoints -y samples/sample_yaml_pois.yml -C -t 1

  1. You can specify output file if you don’t like using >> ‘file.gpx’.

generate_garmin_waypoints -y samples/sample_yaml_pois.yml -o file.gpx

  1. You can specify zoom.

gpx2png -g [input GPX file] -z [zoom, best results between 9 and 15, max 18] -o [output PPNG file]
