gpsformats4j

GPS format conversions in Java.

Very simple, very hacky. ;-) The main reason was to be able to convert TCX files exported from a proprietary app into GPX ones so the OsmAnd~ app can display them.

Supported formats

Currently the following formats are supported:

• CSV (requires columns in this order: track, time, lat, lon, elevation)
• GPX
• TCX
• KML (only LineString tag)

Example usage

Using it with the provided convert/convert.bat scripts:

./convert --in_file test.tcx --in_format TCX --out_file out.gpx --out_format GPX

Calling the Convert class directly:

java -cp "./lib/*" com.github.fracpete.gpsformats4j.Convert \
  --in_file test.tcx --in_format TCX --out_file out.gpx --out_format GPX

Using Java code:

import com.github.fracpete.gpsformats4j.Convert;
import java.io.File;
...
Convert convert = new Convert();
convert.setInputFile(new File("test.tcx"));
convert.setInputFormat("TCX");
convert.setOutputFile(new File("out.gpx"));
convert.setOutputFormat("GPX");
String msg = convert.execute();
// successful if null returned:
if (msg != null)
  System.err.println(msg);
