GPS Tools - A collection of tools to work with GPS track files.

positional arguments:
  tool        Available tools:
    plot      Plot data from the fit file.
    process   Process GPS track file and write results to a GPX file.

options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  --version   show program's version number and exit

gpst process

$ gpst process -h
usage: gpst process [-h] -o OUT_FILE [-y] IN_FILE

positional arguments:
  IN_FILE               Path to input file (.gpx or .fit).

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -o, --output OUT_FILE
                        Path to the output file.
  -y, --yes             Accept questions (e.g. overwrite existing output file).

gpst plot

Note: plot tool does not calculate additional fields, to use calculated fields with FIT file, convert with process tool to GPX first

$ gpst plot -h
usage: gpst plot [-h] -x X_AXIS -y Y_AXIS [Y_AXIS ...] [--y-right Y_AXIS_RIGHT [Y_AXIS_RIGHT ...]] [-t {line,scatter}] [--type-right {line,scatter}] [-o OUTPUT] FILE

positional arguments:
  FILE                  Path to input file (.gpx or .fit).

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -x, --x-axis X_AXIS   Field to use for the x-axis.
  -y, --y-axis Y_AXIS [Y_AXIS ...]
                        Field to use for the y-axis.
  --y-right Y_AXIS_RIGHT [Y_AXIS_RIGHT ...]
                        Field to use for the y-axis on the right side.
  -t, --type {line,scatter}
                        Plot type: line, scatter. Default is line.
  --type-right {line,scatter}
                        Plot type for right y-axis: line, scatter. Default is line.
  -o, --output OUTPUT   Path to the output image file. If not provided, shows the plot interactively.

Future Improvements

• --fix-elevation option for process tool
• configurable elevation smoothing window
• configurable grade window

Limitations

• GPX rte and wpt (and FIT equivalents) are ignored

• track and segment split in GPX (and FIT equivalents) are ignored

• GPX 1.0 is not supported (yet)

• unsupported fields are not preserved (see list of supported Fields)

• following GPX extensions are utilized for working with GPX files:
