read.gps: Read a gps File

In oce: Analysis of Oceanographic Data

Read a gps File

Description

Reads GPX format files by simply finding all longitudes and latitudes; in other words, information on separate tracks, or waypoints, etc., is lost.

Usage

read.gps(
  file,
  type = NULL,
  encoding = "latin1",
  debug = getOption("oceDebug"),
  processingLog
)

Arguments

file	name of file containing gps data.
type	type of file, which will be inferred from examination of the data if not supplied. In the present version, the only choice for type is "gpx".
encoding	a character value that indicates the encoding to be used for this data file, if it is textual. The default value for most functions is "latin1", which seems to be suitable for files containing text written in English and French.
debug	set to TRUE to print information about the header, etc.
processingLog	ignored.

Value

A gps object.
