Using the converter

Download the executable file according to your OS or download the source code files:

For Windows
call the executable usr4conv_module.exe from the cmd prompt

For MacOS
call the executable usr4conv_module from the terminal prompt


or when using the source code call
python usr4conv_module.py
(Please note that Python 2.7 is the minimum requirement)


Options
The converter has a couple of switches to steer the execution.

The switch -h prints the help for the converter and exits.

The following default values are used

• Default input file name is WaypointsRoutesTrails.usr
• Default output file name is output.gpx
• Default logfile filename is logfile.txt

With the following switches you can override the default values

• -i [input file name]: specify a different input file name
• -o [output file name]: specify a different output file name
• -l [logfile name]: specify a different logfile name

Further implementations

GPSbabel has a very nice feature to show the results of a conversion directly in a google map widget. Thus you directly can check where your trails, waypoints and routes are located on the map.
The same feature I would like to see in this converter but this requires some more programming.
