       gpsdrive.

SYNOPSIS

       Common usages:

OPTIONS

       -w, --waypoint <WAYPOINT NAME>
               Takes a waypoint name and uses the latitude and longitude for
               that waypoint as the centerpoint of the area to be covered.
               Waypoints are read from 'way.txt', or file defined by '-W'.
               the special name gpsd asks your local gpsd where your gps
               thinks you are and uses this point as center.  This, '-la' and
               '-lo', '-sla', '-ela', '-slo' and '-elo' or '-a' is required.
               A special name is gpsd this waypoint asks your gps where you
               currently are.

       -la,  --lat <latitude DD.MMMM>
               Takes a latitude in format DD.MMMM and uses that as the
               latitude for the centerpoint of the area to be covered. Will be
               overriden by the latitude of waypoint if '-w' is used. This and
               '-lo', '-w' or '-sla', '-ela', '-slo', '-elo' is required.

       -lo, --lon <longitude DD.MMMM>
               Takes a longitude in format DD.MMMM and uses that as the
               longitude for the centerpoint of the area to be covered. Will
               be overriden by the longitude of waypoint if '-w' is used. This
               and '-la', '-w' or '-sla', '-ela', '-slo', '-elo' is required.

       -sla --start-lat <start latitude DD.MMMM>
               Takes a latitude in format DD.MMMM and uses that as the start
               latitude for the area to be covered. Will override '-la' and
               '-lo' but will be overriden by '-w'. This, '-ela', '-slo' and
               '-elo' or '-w' or '-la' and '-lo' is required.

       -ela --end-lat <end latitude DD.MMMM>
               Takes a latitude in format DD.MMMM and uses that as the end
               latitude for the area to be covered. Will override '-la' and
               '-lo' but will be overriden by '-w'.  This, '-sla', '-slo' and
               '-elo' or '-w' or '-la' and '-lo' is required.

       -slo --start-lon <start longitude DD.MMMM>
               Takes a longitude in format DD.MMMM and uses that as the start
               longitude for the area to be covered. Will override '-la' and
               '-lo' but will be overriden by '-w'. This, '-sla', '-ela' and
               '-elo' or '-w' or '-la' and '-lo' is required.

       -elo --end-lon <end longitude DD.MMMM>
               Takes a longitude in format DD.MMMM and uses that as the end

               Scales of map(s) to download. Default: 50000.

               Formats:

                  '####'
                  - Just this scale.

                  '####,####,####'
                  - All scales in the list. May be combined with other formats.

                  '####-####'
                  - All scales from first to last number given.

       -a, --area <#>
               Area to cover. # of 'units' size square around the centerpoint.
               You can use a single number for square area. Or you can use
               '#x#' to do a rectangle, where the first number is distance
               latitude and the second number is distance of longitude.
               'units' is read from the configuration file (-C) or as defined
               by (-u).

       -p, --polite
               This causes the program to sleep one second between downloads
               to be polite to the mapserver.  Takes an optional value of
               number of seconds to sleep.

       --mapserver <MAPSERVER>
               Mapserver to download from. Default: 'landsat'.  Currently can
               use: landsat

               geoscience, gov_au, incrementp and eniro have download stubs,
               but they are !!!NOT!!!! in the right scale.

               geoscience

               landsat covers the whole world with satelite Photos

               gov_au is for Australia

               incrementp for japanese Maps

               eniro covers:
                eniro_se Sweden
                eniro_dk Denmark
                eniro_no Norway
                eniro_fi Finnland

       -u, --unit <UNIT>
               The measurement system to use. Default is read from
               configuration file <-C>. Possibles are: miles, nautical,
               kilometers.

       --mapdir <DIR>
               Override the configfiles mapdir with this value.

       -t, --track <FILE>
               Download maps that are along a saved track. File is a standard
               track filed saved from GpsDrive.

       -r, --route
               Download maps that are along a route defined by waypoints. You
               must give a list of waypoints as parameters separated with
               space.

       -C, --CONFIG
               File to read for GPSDrive configuration information. Default:

               Takes a prefix string to be used as the start of all saved map
               files. Default: "map_".

       -F, --FORCE
               Force program to download maps without asking you to confirm

       -n      Dont download anything only tell which maps are missing

       -U      read map_koord.txt file at Start. Then also check for not
               downloaded map_*.gif Files if they need to be appended to
               map_koords.txt.

       --check-koordfile
               Update map_koord.txt: search map Tree if map_*.gif file exist,
               but cannot be found in map_koords.txt file. This option first
               reads the map_koord.txt file and checks every Map in the
               filesystem if it also is found in the map_koord.txt file.  If
               not found it is appended into the map_koord.txt file.

               Check map_koord.txt File. This option checks, if every Map also
               exist If any Map-File is missing, a file map_koord.txt.new will
               be created.  This file can be copied to the original file if
               checked.

       --check-coverage

       --MAN -M
               Prints the manual page and exits.

       Download
               When downloading Maps the output reads as folows:

                _ Map already exists in Filesystem
                E Error while downloading Map
                + Map got downloaded
                u updated map_koords.txt File
