NAME

       QLandkarteGT - GPS mapping (GeoTiff and vector) and GPSr management

SYNOPSIS

       qlandkartegt  [ -d | --debug ] [ -h | --help ] -m FD | --monitor=FD ] [
       -n | --no-splash ] [ files...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       QLandkarteGT is a versatile tool for GPS maps in GeoTiff format as well
       as  Garmin’s  img  vector  map format. QLandkarteGT is the successor of
       QLandkarte.  Among various improvements (e.g. 2D/3D map  rendering  and
       reduced   ressource  demands)  the  major  difference  is  its  device-
       independent architecture,  which  is  not  limited  to  Garmin  devices
       anymore.

       Additionally,  QLandkarteGT  serves as a frontend to the GDAL tools, to
       make georeferencing of scanned maps feasible for users. In contrast  to
       similar  tools  (e.g. QGis) its straightforward interface is especially
       suited for non-scientific users.

OPTIONS

       QLandkarteGT currently understands the following  options.   Note  that
       long options must be specified in full (by now).

       -d

       --debug
              Enable additional debugging messages to standard output.

       -h

       --help Print a short option summary, and exit.

       -m FD

       --monitor=FD
              Monitor  the  file  descriptor FD for activity.  If any new data
              arrives on the descriptor, a single byte is read  from  it,  all
              currently active data are discarded, and the geo data files that
              have been specified at the end of the command-line when starting
              QLandkarteGT are read and evaluated again.

       -n

       --no-splash
              Do not display the splash screen on startup.

       All  remaining  positional  arguments  are considered names of geo data
       files to be read and evaluated upon startup.
