read_lotek: Read Lotek gps txt files into a spatial dataframe.

In rgzn/beastr: Better Environmental/Animal Sensor/Telemetry Repository

Read Lotek gps txt files into a spatial dataframe.

Description

This function takes one or more lotek txt files and turns them into an sf collection of points. If there are multiple versions of the same fix record, duplicates will be removed by default. Only the duplicate from the most recent file is kept.

Usage

read_lotek(files, ids = NULL, remove_duplicates = TRUE, show_col_types = FALSE)

Arguments

files	Input files. This can be a path to a single file, a character vector of paths to multiple files, or a list of paths to multiple files.
ids	the device id #s. by default this comes from the filename. Note that shiny file input will change filenames, so this field must be used in that case.
remove_duplicates	if 'FALSE', duplicate records are included in the output
show_col_types	Passed to readr functions. Useful for debugging.
input_crs	reference system used for interpreting coords from file
output_crs	reference system for output spatial df
tz	timezone string to convert timezone processing

Examples

points = read_lotek(system.file("lotek/PinPoint33452.txt", package="beastr"))
summary(points)
