geotrace-sdk
Python bindings for the GeoTrace SDK: read and write .gtd GNSS/GPS navigation
data files.
.gtd is the open binary recording format used by
GeoTrace, a desktop application for
visualizing GPS/GNSS navigation data: position traces on a map, satellite signal
quality, event markers, and filtering.
MIT licensed. Requires Python 3.12+.
Install
uv add geotrace-sdk
Or
pip install geotrace-sdk
Distributed as abi3 wheels (one cp312-abi3 wheel per platform,
forward-compatible with newer CPython) for Linux (manylinux and musllinux),
macOS, and Windows. A platform without a matching wheel builds from the source
distribution, which requires a Rust toolchain.
Write a track
from datetime import datetime, timezone
from geotrace_sdk import NavFileBuilder, NavFix
builder = NavFileBuilder()
builder.add(NavFix(
lat=51.5074,
lon=-0.1278,
gps_time=datetime(2024, 1, 15, 9, 0, 0, tzinfo=timezone.utc),
heading=90.0,
))
builder.finish().write_to_file("track.gtd")
add() also accepts satellite reports, map annotations, and event markers.
Read a file
from geotrace_sdk import NavFile
nav_file = NavFile.open("track.gtd")
print(len(nav_file.points), "points,", len(nav_file.markers), "markers")
for point in nav_file.points:
print(point.lat, point.lon, point.gps_time)
Logging
The SDK does not raise when it drops or substitutes data.
It drops a satellite report that has no timestamp, and it keeps an unknown travel_mode as it read it.
In both cases the call succeeds and the SDK writes a logging record saying what it did.
Each record goes to a logger named after the module that wrote it, such as geotrace_sdk.builder.
All of them sit under geotrace_sdk, so a single handler there receives every one.
import logging
logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger("geotrace_sdk").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
Examples
Runnable examples are in
sdk/python/geotrace-py/examples:
write_basic: minimal write workflow.read_file: read a.gtdfile and print a content summary.with_satellites: pair each fix with a satellite visibility report.event_markers: write and read hierarchical event markers.from_csv: convert CSV rows into a.gtdfile.from_multiple_sources: merge fixes and events from separate sources.gold_dataset: build the cross-SDK reference file and verify the round-trip.
