Open Source Command Line Tools

Gebabbel is a GUI for the famous gpsbabel, a command line tool to convert various GPS file formats back and forth. Thanks to gpsbabel, you cannot only convert files but also exchange data with your GPS device (e.g. Garmin and Magellan) directly.

This is a Python interface for reading and writing Magellan GPS unit map files. There is also a command line tool for creating GPS maps from OpenStreetMap data.

A very simple command line tool to convert OSM files to Shapefiles. Written in Java. Think of it as a self-study project.

compeo++ is a light-weight command line tool for GNU/ Linux to interact with flight instruments made by Bräuniger/ Flytec (5020, 5030, 6020, 6030, Competino, Compeo, Competino+, Compeo+). It comes as a portable C++ application with no dependency on any other program (except the GNU/ Linux platform libraries). It aims at being easy to install, easy to run and easy to use. It was written and tested on a two+ years old netbook. It concentrates on supporting the essential instrument management use cases: - Browse and export track logs. - Browse, export and import waypoints. - Create and browse routes. It does not aim at being a full-fledged flight-management and analysis tool - simply because such tools are available online all over the net (e.g. Leonardo). Additional import formats may be added in the future.
